CHI-Bench: Can AI Agents Automate End-to-End, Long-Horizon, Policy-Rich Healthcare Workflows?

End-to-end automation of realistic healthcare operations stresses three capabilities underrepresented in current benchmarks: policy density, decisions must be grounded in a large library of medical, insurance, and operational rules; Multi-role composition: a single task requires the agent to play multiple roles with handoffs; and multilateral interaction: intermediate workflow steps are multi-turn dialogs, such as peer-to-peer review and patient outreach. We introduce $χ$-Bench, a benchmark of long-horizon healthcare workflows across three domains: provider prior authorization, payer utilization management, and care management. Each task hands the agent a clinical case in a high-fidelity simulator of 20 healthcare apps exposed via 87 MCP tools, which it must drive to a terminal status through tool calls and writing the role's artifacts, guided by a 1,290+ document managed-care operations handbook skill. Across 30 agent harness/models configurations, the best agent resolves only 28.0% of tasks, no agent clears 20% on strict pass^3, and executing all tasks in a single session slumps the performance to 3.8%. These results raise the hypothesis that similar gaps are likely to surface in other policy-dense, role-composed, irreversible enterprise domains.

Improving Audio Question Answering with Variational Inference

Variational inference (VI) provides a principled framework for estimating posterior distributions over model parameters, enabling explicit modeling of weight uncertainty during optimization. By capturing this uncertainty, VI improves the reliability of predictions, yielding better calibrated outputs. In this work, we investigate the benefits of VI for challenging multimodal understanding and reasoning by applying the Improved Variational Online Newton (IVON), a recent VI optimizer, to fine-tuning a multimodal large language model on audio question answering tasks. Our results show that VI not only enhances predictive accuracy but also significantly improves calibration, reducing the model's overconfidence. These advances further support risk-sensitive applications such as selective prediction, where reliable confidence estimates are crucial.

Overcomplete order-3 tensor decomposition, blind deconvolution and Gaussian mixture models

We propose a new algorithm for tensor decomposition, based on Jennrich's algorithm, and apply our new algorithmic ideas to blind deconvolution and Gaussian mixture models. Our first contribution is a simple and efficient algorithm to decompose certain symmetric overcomplete order-3 tensors, that is, three dimensional arrays of the form $T = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i \otimes a_i \otimes a_i$ where the $a_i$s are not linearly independent.Our algorithm comes with a detailed robustness analysis. Our second contribution builds on top of our tensor decomposition algorithm to expand the family of Gaussian mixture models whose parameters can be estimated efficiently. These ideas are also presented in a more general framework of blind deconvolution that makes them applicable to mixture models of identical but very general distributions, including all centrally symmetric distributions with finite 6th moment.
