CONFETTI: Conversational Function-Calling Evaluation Through Turn-Level Interactions
We introduce Conversational Function-Calling Evaluation Through Turn-Level Interactions (CONFETTI), a conversational benchmark1 designed to evaluate the function-calling capabilities and response quality of large language models (LLMs). Current benchmarks lack comprehensive assessment of LLMs in complex conversational scenarios. CONFETTI addresses this gap through 109 human-simulated conversations, comprising 313 user turns and covering 86 APIs. These conversations explicitly target various con…

Feedstack: Layering Structured Representations over Unstructured Feedback to Scaffold Human AI Conversation
Many conversational user interfaces facilitate linear conversations with turn-based dialogue, similar to face-to-face conversations between people. However, digital conversations can afford more than simple back-and-forth; they can be layered with interaction techniques and structured representations that scaffold exploration, reflection, and shared understanding between users and AI systems. We introduce Feedstack, a speculative interface that augments feedback conversations with layered affor…

Can Compressed LLMs Truly Act? An Empirical Evaluation of Agentic Capabilities in LLM Compression
Post-training compression reduces the computational and memory costs of large language models (LLMs), enabling resource-efficient deployment. However, existing compression benchmarks only focus on language modeling (e.g., perplexity) and natural language understanding tasks (e.g., GLUE accuracy), ignoring the agentic capabilities - workflow, tool use/function call, long-context understanding and real-world application. We introduce the Agent Compression Benchmark (ACBench), the first comprehens…

Six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ Conformal Superspace
We develop a new off-shell formulation for six-dimensional conformal supergravity obtained by gauging the 6D $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ superconformal algebra in superspace. We provide the complete gauged algebra, which proves to be considerably constrained compared to other conformal superspaces constructed in the past. This formulation is employed to obtain the unique 6D $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ Bach tensor superfield, which describes the multiplet of equations of motions for conformal supergravity, by u…
