User-turn generation reveals that LLMs' interaction awareness is largely decoupled from task accuracy, remaining near zero in deterministic settings even as accuracy scales to 96.8% on GSM8K.

ProactBench measures LLM conversational proactivity in three phases using 198 multi-agent dialogues and finds recovery behavior hard to predict from existing benchmarks.
CA-BED uses Bayesian experimental design and simulated conversation trees with LLM likelihoods to optimize multi-turn question selection, reporting 21.8% higher success rates than direct prompting on entity-deduction benchmarks.
Introduces NoisyToolBench benchmark and Ask-when-Needed framework to improve LLM tool-use performance when user instructions are unclear or incomplete.
The paper introduces an optimization framework for AI agents to strategically seek support, proving a threshold policy on support value and providing an online algorithm to control missed-support error without distributional assumptions.
ICM-inferred examples achieve gold-label performance across alignment benchmarks and generalize better when coherence is high even at fixed accuracy.
A tradeoff model shows generative AI can reduce bias against diverse preferences by strategically eliciting information instead of always inferring from majority patterns.
Fine-tuned simulators grounded in real human data produce LLM assistants that win more often against real users than those trained against role-playing simulators.
BALAR is a task-agnostic Bayesian loop that maintains structured beliefs over latent states, selects questions via expected mutual information, and expands its state space when needed, delivering 14.6-38.5% accuracy gains over baselines on detective, puzzle, and clinical diagnosis benchmarks.
The system integrates a Neo4j knowledge graph, four-stage symptom matching with LLM verification, genetic-algorithm-optimized proactive questioning, and multimodal evidence-based visualizations to improve diagnostic transparency and treatment interpretability in TCM, reporting 32% fewer non-standard
