Leadership as Coordination Control: Behavioral Signatures and the Recovery-Advantage Boundary in Multi-Agent LLM Teams
This paper investigates when process-level coordination control (leadership) benefits multi-agent LLM teams, using behavioral signatures and ablations. It finds that leadership only improves accuracy under specific conditions (unreliable initial consensus, recoverable tasks, and insufficient undirected interaction), aligning with contingency theory from team science.
Diagnosing Failure Modes of Shared-State Collaboration in Resource-Constrained Visual Agents
This paper studies failure modes in shared-state collaborative reasoning for resource-constrained visual agents, introducing CoSee, an auditing framework that formalizes read-write-verify loops. It finds that naive shared workspaces can amplify hallucinations and identifies noise reinforcement and policy collapse as dominant failure modes.
