Breaking the Martingale Curse: Multi-Agent Debate via Asymmetric Cognitive Potential Energy

This paper introduces AceMAD, a multi-agent debate framework that overcomes the "Martingale Curse" of standard methods by leveraging asymmetric cognitive potential energy—where truth-holders anticipate collective misconceptions—to transform agent convergence from a random walk into a directed drift toward the correct answer.

Step-Level Visual Grounding Faithfulness Predicts Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Long-Horizon Vision-Language Models

This paper establishes that the quality of a model's step-level visual grounding, quantified by the Step Grounding Rate (SGR), serves as a robust and independent predictor of out-of-distribution generalization in long-horizon vision-language models, outperforming traditional final-answer accuracy metrics.

Characterizing Faults in Agentic AI: A Taxonomy of Types, Symptoms, and Root Causes

This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of faults in agentic AI systems, derived from a large-scale empirical study of 13,602 issues and validated by 145 practitioners, which categorizes 37 distinct fault types, their symptoms, and root causes to reveal critical propagation patterns and mismatches between probabilistic LLM outputs and deterministic system constraints.

What Does AI Do for Cultural Interpretation? A Randomized Experiment on Close Reading Poems with Exposure to AI Interpretation

A randomized experiment involving 400 participants reveals that while AI assistance can enhance both performance and pleasure in close reading poems, the benefits are optimized with a single interpretation rather than multiple, as heavy reliance on AI improves task performance but diminishes the enjoyment of the experience.
