Fine-Tuned Multi-Agent Framework for Detecting OCEAN in Life Narratives

Rasiq Hussain, Darshil Italiya, Joshua Oltmanns, Mehak Gupta

Accurately assessing personality from text is challenging because traits are latent, context-dependent, and often subtly expressed across long narratives. Large language models (LLMs) offer new opportunities by processing extensive textual contexts, but pretraining of these models can induce latent "personality-like" biases, making single-model inferences inconsistent. We propose a fine-tuned multi-agent framework for detecting OCEAN personality traits, in which sub-agents are conditioned to adopt high, low, or neutral perspectives for each trait through masked language modeling (MLM) and psychometric supervision. A judge LLM aggregates and compares sub-agent outputs to generate final trait predictions, capturing multiple complementary perspectives while mitigating individual model biases. We evaluate the framework on life narrative dataset through quantitative and qualitative experiments, including baselines, ablations, and inference quality analyses. Our approach offers a scalable and interpretable method for text-based personality inference, highlighting the benefits of multi-agent reasoning grounded in psychometric supervision.

Norm Enforcement for AI Agents: Robustly Shaping Behavior in Multi-Agent Systems

Yaowen Ye, Jacob Steinhardt

AI agents are increasingly deployed in shared environments where they pursue diverse goals and compete for rewards. This multi-agent competition can lead to behaviors that serve individual gains at collective cost -- for instance, marketing agents may post misleading content as a…

What LLM Agents Say When No One Is Watching: Social Structure and Latent Objective Emergence in Multi-Agent Debates

Arman Ghaffarizadeh, Danyal Mohaddes, Aliakbar Izadkhah, Shahriar Noroozizadeh

LLM agents will increasingly act in socially structured settings where role, audience, and relational context can shape what is advantageous or costly to say. We study whether such social structure, without any explicit objective in the prompt, changes what an agent expresses pub…

Delayed Verification Destabilizes Multi-Agent LLM Belief: Instability Thresholds and Optimal Corrector Placement

Igor Itkin

Multi-agent large language model (LLM) systems often rely on verifier and critic agents to suppress hallucinations, but verification is delayed. During this delay, false claims can propagate through the agent network. We model this process as delayed consensus on a graph with gro…

MADA-RL: Multi-Agent Debate-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Parameter-Efficient Reasoning in Compact Models

Martino M. L. Pulici, Cuong Xuan Chu, Evgeny Kharlamov, Zifeng Ding, Volker Tresp, Yunpu Ma

Large language models achieve strong reasoning performance, but often at prohibitive training cost - a challenge that is especially acute for compact models ($\leq 4 \, \mathrm{B}$ parameters) trained under limited budgets. We introduce MADA-RL, a post-training framework that spe…

Different retrievers, including lexical, semantic, and multimodal approaches, provide highly complementary strengths for multimodal document understanding, yet most systems combine them through fixed pipelines that cannot adapt to the demands of individual reasoning steps. In thi…
