Statistical mechanics approach to the probability distribution of money
This Chapter reviews statistical models for the probability distribution of money developed in the econophysics literature since the late 1990s. In these models, economic transactions are modeled as random transfers of money between the agents in pay...
Proficient Graph Neural Network Design by Accumulating Knowledge on Large Language Models
High-level automation is increasingly critical in AI, driven by rapid advances in large language models (LLMs) and AI agents. However, LLMs, despite their general reasoning power, struggle significantly in specialized, data-sensitive tasks such as de...
Learning to Generate Context-Sensitive Backchannel Smiles for Embodied AI Agents with Appl…
Addressing the critical shortage of mental health resources for effective screening, diagnosis, and treatment remains a significant challenge. This scarcity underscores the need for innovative solutions, particularly in enhancing the accessibility an...
Market Impact in a Latent Order Book
The latent order book of \cite{donier2015fully} is one of the most promising agent-based models for market impact. This work extends the minimal model by allowing agents to exhibit mean-reversion, a commonly observed pattern in real markets. This mod...
Securing Generative AI Agentic Workflows: Risks, Mitigation, and a Proposed Firewall Archi…
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) presents significant advancements but also introduces novel security challenges, particularly within agentic workflows where AI agents operate autonomously. These risks escalate in multi-agent systems due to...
Artificial Bugs for Crowdsearch
Bug bounty programs, where external agents are invited to search and report vulnerabilities (bugs) in exchange for rewards (bounty), have become a major tool for companies to improve their systems. We suggest augmenting such programs by inserting art...
Toys can't play: physical agents in Spekkens' theory
Information is physical, and for a physical theory to be universal, it should model observers as physical systems, with concrete memories where they store the information acquired through experiments and reasoning. Here we address these issues in Spe...

SGAgent: Suggestion-Guided LLM-Based Multi-Agent Framework for Repository-Level Software R…
The rapid advancement of Large Language Models (LLMs) has led to the emergence of intelligent agents capable of autonomously interacting with environments and invoking external tools. Recently, agent-based software repair approaches have received wid...
Learning to Trust: Bayesian Adaptation to Varying Suggester Reliability in Sequential Deci…
Autonomous agents operating in sequential decision-making tasks under uncertainty can benefit from external action suggestions, which provide valuable guidance but inherently vary in reliability. Existing methods for incorporating such advice typical...
Completeness of two fragments of a logic for conditional strategic reasoning
Classical logics for strategic reasoning, such as Coalition Logic and Alternating-time Temporal Logic, formalize absolute strategic reasoning about the unconditional strategic abilities of agents to achieve their goals. Goranko and Ju, in two recent...
Simulating Customer Experience and Word Of Mouth in Retail - A Case Study
Agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. In this paper we describe the development of agent-based simulation models, designed to help to understand the relationship between people management practices and retail perform...
Reserve Matching with Thresholds
We develop a general framework for reserve systems that allocate scarce resources such as vaccines to unit-demand agents under prioritization and eligibility constraints, along with a computationally efficient mechanism. Reserve systems allocate scar...

Eye Gaze as a Signal for Conveying User Attention in Contextual AI Systems
Advanced multimodal AI agents can now collaborate with users to solve challenges in the world. Yet, these emerging contextual AI systems rely on explicit communication channels between the user and system. We hypothesize that implicit communication o...
EmbodiedScan: A Holistic Multi-Modal 3D Perception Suite Towards Embodied AI
In the realm of computer vision and robotics, embodied agents are expected to explore their environment and carry out human instructions. This necessitates the ability to fully understand 3D scenes given their first-person observations and contextual...
There's A Name For The Discomfort You're Feeling Watching The Olympics Right Now
If waving the American flag or chanting “USA!” turns you off right now, you're not alone.
Key questions surround the death of a nearly blind refugee after he was dropped off at a c…
The death of a Rohingya refugee in Buffalo, New York, has raised pressing questions about how federal immigration agents handled his release from their custody – and what happened in the five days he ...
135K exposed AI agent instances, 13% malicious skills — is anyone protecting the host mach…
The research coming out on AI agent security is sobering: - Cisco AI Defense published findings on tool-augmented LLM exploitation — agents with shell/file/network access being weaponized through p...
