Agent-ValueBench: A Comprehensive Benchmark for Evaluating Agent Values

Autonomous agents have rapidly matured as task executors and seen widespread deployment via harnesses such as OpenClaw. Safety concerns have rightly drawn growing research attention, and beneath them lie the values silently steering agent behavior. Existing value benchmarks, however, remain confined to LLMs, leaving agent values largely uncharted. From intuitive, empirical, and theoretical vantage points, we show that an agent's values diverge from those of its underlying LLM, and the agentic modality further introduces dataset-, evaluation-, and system-level challenges absent from text-only protocols. We close this gap with Agent-ValueBench, the first benchmark dedicated to agent values. It features 394 executable environments across 16 domains, offering 4,335 value-conflict tasks that cover 28 value systems and 332 dimensions. Every instance is co-synthesized through our purpose-built end-to-end pipeline and curated per-instance by professional psychologists. Each task ships with two pole-aligned golden trajectories whose checkpoints anchor a trajectory-level rubric-based judge. Benchmarking 14 frontier proprietary and open-weights models across 4 mainstream harnesses, we uncover three concerted findings. Agent values first manifest as a Value Tide of cross-model homogeneity beneath interpretable counter-currents. This tide bends non-additively under harness pull, and yet more decisively under deliberate steering via embedded skills. Together these results signal that the agent-alignment lever is shifting from classical model alignment and prompt steering toward harness alignment and skill steering.

Toward Stable Value Alignment: Introducing Independent Modules for Consistent Value Guidance

Aligning large language models (LLMs) with human values typically relies on post-training or inference-time steering that directly manipulates the backbone's parameters or representation space. However, a critical gap exists: the model's residual stream is highly dynamic, in which values exist as fragile, low-dimensional properties, inherently incompatible with the stability required for consistent value expression. In this paper, we propose the Stable Value Guidance Transformer (SVGT), which addresses this gap through an independent value module incorporating two key designs: (1) independent value modeling, maintaining normative representations in a dedicated value space isolated from the backbone, and (2) explicit behavioral guidance, transducing these stable signals into learnable latent Bridge Tokens. These tokens serve as dynamic value anchors to explicitly steer the generative trajectory, ensuring robust adherence across diverse contexts without disrupting the backbone's internal representations. Experiments across multiple backbones and safety benchmarks show that SVGT generally reduces harmful scores by over 70% while maintaining generation fluency, demonstrating the efficacy of architecturally grounded value modeling. Our code is available at https://github.com/Clervils/SVGT.git.

Equivalent Distance Geometry Error for Molecular Conformation Comparison

Straight-forward conformation generation models, which generate 3-D structures directly from input molecular graphs, play an important role in various molecular tasks with machine learning, such as 3D-QSAR and virtual screening in drug design. However, existing loss functions in these models either cost overmuch time or fail to guarantee the equivalence during optimization, which means treating different items unfairly, resulting in poor local geometry in generated conformation. So, we propose Equivalent Distance Geometry Error (EDGE) to calculate the differential discrepancy between conformations where the essential factors of three kinds in conformation geometry (i.e. bond lengths, bond angles and dihedral angles) are equivalently optimized with certain weights. And in the improved version of our method, the optimization features minimizing linear transformations of atom-pair distances within 3-hop. Extensive experiments show that, compared with existing loss functions, EDGE performs effectively and efficiently in two tasks under the same backbones.

LEReg: Empower Graph Neural Networks with Local Energy Regularization

Researches on analyzing graphs with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been receiving more and more attention because of the great expressive power of graphs. GNNs map the adjacency matrix and node features to node representations by message passing through edges on each convolution layer. However, the message passed through GNNs is not always beneficial for all parts in a graph. Specifically, as the data distribution is different over the graph, the receptive field (the farthest nodes that a node can obtain information from) needed to gather information is also different. Existing GNNs treat all parts of the graph uniformly, which makes it difficult to adaptively pass the most informative message for each unique part. To solve this problem, we propose two regularization terms that consider message passing locally: (1) Intra-Energy Reg and (2) Inter-Energy Reg. Through experiments and theoretical discussion, we first show that the speed of smoothing of different parts varies enormously and the topology of each part affects the way of smoothing. With Intra-Energy Reg, we strengthen the message passing within each part, which is beneficial for getting more useful information. With Inter-Energy Reg, we improve the ability of GNNs to distinguish different nodes. With the proposed two regularization terms, GNNs are able to filter the most useful information adaptively, learn more robustly and gain higher expressiveness. Moreover, the proposed LEReg can be easily applied to other GNN models with plug-and-play characteristics. Extensive experiments on several benchmarks verify that GNNs with LEReg outperform or match the state-of-the-art methods. The effectiveness and efficiency are also empirically visualized with elaborate experiments.

Meta-Weight Graph Neural Network: Push the Limits Beyond Global Homophily

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) show strong expressive power on graph data mining, by aggregating information from neighbors and using the integrated representation in the downstream tasks. The same aggregation methods and parameters for each node in a graph are used to enable the GNNs to utilize the homophily relational data. However, not all graphs are homophilic, even in the same graph, the distributions may vary significantly. Using the same convolution over all nodes may lead to the ignorance of various graph patterns. Furthermore, many existing GNNs integrate node features and structure identically, which ignores the distributions of nodes and further limits the expressive power of GNNs. To solve these problems, we propose Meta Weight Graph Neural Network (MWGNN) to adaptively construct graph convolution layers for different nodes. First, we model the Node Local Distribution (NLD) from node feature, topological structure and positional identity aspects with the Meta-Weight. Then, based on the Meta-Weight, we generate the adaptive graph convolutions to perform a node-specific weighted aggregation and boost the node representations. Finally, we design extensive experiments on real-world and synthetic benchmarks to evaluate the effectiveness of MWGNN. These experiments show the excellent expressive power of MWGNN in dealing with graph data with various distributions.

Graph Structural-topic Neural Network

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) achieved tremendous success by effectively gathering local features for nodes. However, commonly do GCNs focus more on node features but less on graph structures within the neighborhood, especially higher-order structural patterns. However, such local structural patterns are shown to be indicative of node properties in numerous fields. In addition, it is not just single patterns, but the distribution over all these patterns matter, because networks are complex and the neighborhood of each node consists of a mixture of various nodes and structural patterns. Correspondingly, in this paper, we propose Graph Structural-topic Neural Network, abbreviated GraphSTONE, a GCN model that utilizes topic models of graphs, such that the structural topics capture indicative graph structures broadly from a probabilistic aspect rather than merely a few structures. Specifically, we build topic models upon graphs using anonymous walks and Graph Anchor LDA, an LDA variant that selects significant structural patterns first, so as to alleviate the complexity and generate structural topics efficiently. In addition, we design multi-view GCNs to unify node features and structural topic features and utilize structural topics to guide the aggregation. We evaluate our model through both quantitative and qualitative experiments, where our model exhibits promising performance, high efficiency, and clear interpretability.

Influence Blocking Maximization in Social Networks under the Competitive Linear Threshold Model Technical Report

In many real-world situations, different and often opposite opinions, innovations, or products are competing with one another for their social influence in a networked society. In this paper, we study competitive influence propagation in social networks under the competitive linear threshold (CLT) model, an extension to the classic linear threshold model. Under the CLT model, we focus on the problem that one entity tries to block the influence propagation of its competing entity as much as possible by strategically selecting a number of seed nodes that could initiate its own influence propagation. We call this problem the influence blocking maximization (IBM) problem. We prove that the objective function of IBM in the CLT model is submodular, and thus a greedy algorithm could achieve 1-1/e approximation ratio. However, the greedy algorithm requires Monte-Carlo simulations of competitive influence propagation, which makes the algorithm not efficient. We design an efficient algorithm CLDAG, which utilizes the properties of the CLT model, to address this issue. We conduct extensive simulations of CLDAG, the greedy algorithm, and other baseline algorithms on real-world and synthetic datasets. Our results show that CLDAG is able to provide best accuracy in par with the greedy algorithm and often better than other algorithms, while it is two orders of magnitude faster than the greedy algorithm.
