E-valuator: Reliable Agent Verifiers with Sequential Hypothesis Testing

Researchers introduce e-valuator, a method that applies sequential hypothesis testing to convert AI verifier scores into statistically reliable decision rules for evaluating agent trajectories. The framework provides provable false alarm rate control and enables early termination of problematic sequences, offering a model-agnostic approach to improving the reliability of agentic AI systems.

Conformal Recovery-Deadline Certificates for Runtime Assurance of Adapting Controllers

Researchers introduce conformal recovery-deadline certificates, a new runtime assurance mechanism that allows adaptive controllers to safely recover from faults without premature shutdown. The method uses statistical bounds to distinguish between controllers capable of self-correction and those that will fail, applying a verified backstop only when necessary.

Conformal Certification of Reasoning Trace Prefixes

Researchers introduce CROP, a statistical certification method for language model reasoning traces that identifies the longest reliable prefix before errors occur. The technique enables safer deployment of AI systems by providing rigorous guarantees about which intermediate reasoning steps can be trusted, while routing uncertain portions for human review or automated repair.
