Beyond the All-in-One Agent: Benchmarking Role-Specialized Multi-Agent Collaboration in Enterprise Workflows

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly expected to operate in enterprise environments, where work is distributed across specialized roles, permission-controlled systems, and cross-departmental procedures. However, existing enterprise benchmarks largely evaluate single agents with broad tool access, while existing multi-agent benchmarks rarely capture realistic enterprise constraints such as role specialization, access control, stateful business systems, and policy-based approvals. We introduce \textsc{EntCollabBench}, a benchmark for evaluating enterprise multi-agent collaboration. \textsc{EntCollabBench} simulates a permission-isolated organization with 11 role-specialized agents across six departments and contains two evaluation subsets: a Workflow subset, where agents collaboratively modify enterprise system states, and an Approval subset, where agents make policy-grounded decisions. Evaluation is based on execution traces, database state verification, and deterministic policy adjudication rather than natural-language response judging. Experiments with representative LLM agents show that current models still struggle with end-to-end enterprise collaboration, especially in delegation, context transfer, parameter grounding, workflow closure, and decision commitment. \textsc{EntCollabBench} provides a reproducible testbed for measuring and improving agent systems intended for realistic organizational environments.

FED-FSTQ: Fisher-Guided Token Quantization for Communication-Efficient Federated Fine-Tuning of LLMs on Edge Devices

Federated fine-tuning provides a practical route to adapt large language models (LLMs) on edge devices without centralizing private data, yet in mobile deployments the training wall-clock is often bottlenecked by straggler-limited uplink communication under heterogeneous bandwidth and intermittent participation. Although parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) reduces trainable parameters, per-round payloads remain prohibitive in non-IID regimes, where uniform compression can discard rare but task-critical signals. We propose Fed-FSTQ, a Fisher-guided token quantization system primitive for communication-efficient federated LLM fine-tuning. Fed-FSTQ employs a lightweight Fisher proxy to estimate token sensitivity, coupling importance-aware token selection with non-uniform mixed-precision quantization to allocate higher fidelity to informative evidence while suppressing redundant transmission. The method is model-agnostic, serves as a drop-in module for standard federated PEFT pipelines, e.g., LoRA, without modifying the server aggregation rule, and supports bandwidth-heterogeneous clients via compact sparse message packing. Experiments on multilingual QA and medical QA under non-IID partitions show that Fed-FSTQ reduces cumulative uplink traffic required to reach a fixed quality threshold by 46x relative to a standard LoRA baseline, and improves end-to-end wall-clock time-to-accuracy by 52%. Furthermore, enabling Fisher-guided token reduction at inference yields up to a 1.55x end-to-end speedup on NVIDIA Jetson-class edge devices, demonstrating deployability under tight resource constraints.

PI-TTA: Physics-Informed Source-Free Test-Time Adaptation for Robust Human Activity Recognition on Mobile Devices

Source-free test-time adaptation (TTA) is appealing for mobile and wearable sensing because it enables on-device personalization from unlabeled test streams without centralizing private data. However, sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) poses challenges that are less pronounced in standard vision benchmarks: behavioral inertial streams are temporally correlated and often exhibit within-session shifts caused by sensor rotation, placement change, and sampling-rate drift. Under this streaming non-i.i.d. setting, widely used vision-style TTA objectives can become unstable, leading to overconfident errors, representation collapse, and catastrophic forgetting. We propose PI-TTA, a lightweight source-free adaptation framework that stabilizes online updates through three physics-consistent constraints: gravity consistency, short-horizon temporal continuity, and spectral stability. PI-TTA updates the same small parameter subset as strong source-free baselines and incurs only modest overhead, making it suitable for on-device deployment. Experiments on USCHAD, PAMAP2, and mHealth under long-sequence stress tests and factorized shift protocols show that PI-TTA mitigates the severe degradation observed in confidence-driven baselines and preserves stable adaptation under sustained streaming conditions. It improves long-sequence accuracy by up to 9.13% and reduces physical-violation rates by 27.5%, 24.1%, and 45.4% on USCHAD, PAMAP2, and mHealth, respectively. These results demonstrate that physics-informed adaptation can improve accuracy, stability, and deployment reliability for real-world mobile sensing systems.

Diverse Preference Augmentation with Multiple Domains for Cold-start Recommendations

Cold-start issues have been more and more challenging for providing accurate recommendations with the fast increase of users and items. Most existing approaches attempt to solve the intractable problems via content-aware recommendations based on auxiliary information and/or cross-domain recommendations with transfer learning. Their performances are often constrained by the extremely sparse user-item interactions, unavailable side information, or very limited domain-shared users. Recently, meta-learners with meta-augmentation by adding noises to labels have been proven to be effective to avoid overfitting and shown good performance on new tasks. Motivated by the idea of meta-augmentation, in this paper, by treating a user's preference over items as a task, we propose a so-called Diverse Preference Augmentation framework with multiple source domains based on meta-learning (referred to as MetaDPA) to i) generate diverse ratings in a new domain of interest (known as target domain) to handle overfitting on the case of sparse interactions, and to ii) learn a preference model in the target domain via a meta-learning scheme to alleviate cold-start issues. Specifically, we first conduct multi-source domain adaptation by dual conditional variational autoencoders and impose a Multi-domain InfoMax (MDI) constraint on the latent representations to learn domain-shared and domain-specific preference properties. To avoid overfitting, we add a Mutually-Exclusive (ME) constraint on the output of decoders to generate diverse ratings given content data. Finally, these generated diverse ratings and the original ratings are introduced into the meta-training procedure to learn a preference meta-learner, which produces good generalization ability on cold-start recommendation tasks. Experiments on real-world datasets show our proposed MetaDPA clearly outperforms the current state-of-the-art baselines.
