MOCHA: Multi-Objective Chebyshev Annealing for Agent Skill Optimization

LLM agents organize behavior through skills - structured natural-language specifications governing how an agent reasons, retrieves, and responds. Unlike monolithic prompts, skills are multi-field artifacts subject to hard platform constraints: description fields are truncated for routing, instruction bodies are compacted via progressive disclosure, and co-resident skills compete for limited context windows. These constraints make skill optimization inherently multi-objective: a skill must simultaneously maximize task performance and satisfy platform limits. Yet existing prompt optimizers either ignore these trade-offs or collapse them into a weighted sum, missing Pareto-optimal variants in non-convex objective regions. We introduce MOCHA (Multi-Objective Chebyshev Annealing), which replaces single-objective selection with Chebyshev scalarization - covering the full Pareto front, including non-convex regions - combined with exponential annealing that transitions from exploration to exploitation. In our experiments across six diverse agent skills - where all methods share the same multi-objective mutation operator and baselines receive identical per-objective textual feedback - existing optimizers fail to improve the seed skill on 4 of 6 tasks: 1000 rollouts yield zero progress. MOCHA breaks through on every task, achieving 7.5% relative improvement in mean correctness over the strongest baseline (up to 14.9% on FEVER and 10.4% on TheoremQA) while discovering twice as many more Pareto-optimal skill variants.

Medical Dead-ends and Learning to Identify High-risk States and Treatments

Machine learning has successfully framed many sequential decision making problems as either supervised prediction, or optimal decision-making policy identification via reinforcement learning. In data-constrained offline settings, both approaches may fail as they assume fully optimal behavior or rely on exploring alternatives that may not exist. We introduce an inherently different approach that identifies possible "dead-ends" of a state space. We focus on the condition of patients in the intensive care unit, where a "medical dead-end" indicates that a patient will expire, regardless of all potential future treatment sequences. We postulate "treatment security" as avoiding treatments with probability proportional to their chance of leading to dead-ends, present a formal proof, and frame discovery as an RL problem. We then train three independent deep neural models for automated state construction, dead-end discovery and confirmation. Our empirical results discover that dead-ends exist in real clinical data among septic patients, and further reveal gaps between secure treatments and those that were administered.

Inducing Cooperative behaviour in Sequential-Social dilemmas through Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning using Status-Quo Loss

In social dilemma situations, individual rationality leads to sub-optimal group outcomes. Several human engagements can be modeled as a sequential (multi-step) social dilemmas. However, in contrast to humans, Deep Reinforcement Learning agents trained to optimize individual rewards in sequential social dilemmas converge to selfish, mutually harmful behavior. We introduce a status-quo loss (SQLoss) that encourages an agent to stick to the status quo, rather than repeatedly changing its policy. We show how agents trained with SQLoss evolve cooperative behavior in several social dilemma matrix games. To work with social dilemma games that have visual input, we propose GameDistill. GameDistill uses self-supervision and clustering to automatically extract cooperative and selfish policies from a social dilemma game. We combine GameDistill and SQLoss to show how agents evolve socially desirable cooperative behavior in the Coin Game.
