CoWeaver: A Bi-directional, Learnable and Explainable Matching Engine for Mixed Human-Agent Science Collaboration

Jiayao Gu, Kexin Chu, Peidong Liu, Yue Yang, Lynn Ai, Qi Zhang, Ling Yang, Tianyu Shi

LLM-based agents excel at writing articles, coding and information retrieval. However, they fail to form strong collaborations within the scientific community due to the bidirectional, dynamic nature of the problem and a high demand of decision interpretability. We proposed COWEAVER, a bidirectional, learnable and explainable algorithm to match scientists and form strong collaborations within a human-agent network. COWEAVER matches candidates and requesters through filling capability gaps and filters candidates through a two-stage ranking step. Finally, the model explores newcomers by maintaining uncertainty-aware capability estimates and updating them through requester's feedback. We show that the selection mechanism of combining both exploration (UCB) and greedy of COWEAVER exceeds the greedy-only mechanism - the analytical best solution - on 6 out of the 20 tasks and performed on par with the greedy-only mechanism in terms of selecting the best candidate. We compared COWEAVER baselines in terms of matching quality and efficiency. COWEAVER outperforms baselines on all metrics.

MECoBench: A Systematic Study of Multimodal Agent Collaboration in Embodied Environments

Qingyun Liu, Jiwen Zhang, Jingyi Hu, Siyuan Wang, Zhongyu Wei

Recent multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have strong potential as embodied agents, but their ability to collaborate in visually grounded environments remains underexplored. To address this gap, we introduce MECoBench, a multimodal embodied cooperation benchmark with an eva…

Training Therapeutic Judges and Multi-Agent Systems for Human-Aligned Mental Health Support

Mizanur Rahman, Abeer Badawi, Elahe Rahimi, Laleh Seyyed-Kalantari, Frank Rudzicz, Enamul Hoque, et al.

Large language models show promise for mental health support, yet therapeutic quality improves only when evaluation functions as an actionable control signal rather than a passive metric. We introduce a framework that formulates therapeutic response generation as a decision-refin…

From Personas to Plot: Character-Grounded Multi-Agent Story Generation for Long-Form Narratives

Aayush Aluru, Chloe Ho, Muhammad Hammouri, Kerry Luo, Myra Malik, Ryan Lagasse, et al.

Although large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive creative fiction generation, they struggle to maintain narrative consistency and coherent plot lines in long-form stories. In this work, we introduce a unified framework for long-form narrative generation and veri…

Danus: Orchestrating Mathematical Reasoning Agents with Fact-Graph Memory

Jihao Liu, Guoxiong Gao, Zeming Sun, Bin Wu, Shurui Liu, Jiedong Jiang, et al.

Recent LLM-based mathematical reasoning agents have begun to tackle research-level problems and, in several cases, have contributed to the resolution of open problems. However, scaling and orchestrating such agents effectively remains challenging, due to the difficulty of coordin…
