Abstract

Data Spaces enable sovereign and governed data sharing across organizational boundaries, but their integration with AI agents remains challenging due to mismatches between probabilistic language model interactions and policy-driven data infrastructures. This article presents an architectural mediation approach based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), implemented through the Eunomia Agent, to enable controlled interaction between large language model (LLM) agents and data space services. The proposed mediation layer translates data space capabilities into structured, schema-driven tools that AI agents can discover and invoke while preserving governance constraints. A prototype implementation validates end-to-end interaction across catalog discovery, metadata retrieval, and data service invocation without modifying existing data space components. Results demonstrate that protocol-based mediation enables interoperable and standards-aligned integration of AI agents into data space ecosystems. The approach provides practical guidance for organizations seeking to introduce AI-driven automation into governed data-sharing environments while maintaining compliance, interoperability, and architectural separation of concerns.

e1: Learning Adaptive Control of Reasoning Effort

Increasing the thinking budget of AI models can significantly improve accuracy, but not all questions warrant the same amount of reasoning. Users may prefer to allocate different amounts of reasoning effort depending on how they value output quality versus latency and cost. To leverage this tradeoff effectively, users need fine-grained control over the amount of thinking used for a particular query, but few approaches enable such control. Existing methods require users to specify the absolute number of desired tokens, but this requires knowing the difficulty of the problem beforehand to appropriately set the token budget for a query. To address these issues, we propose \textit{Adaptive Effort Control}, a self-adaptive reinforcement learning method that trains models to use a user-specified fraction of tokens relative to the current average chain-of-thought length for each query. This approach eliminates dataset- and phase-specific hyperparameter tuning. Users can dynamically adjust the cost-accuracy trade-off through a continuous effort parameter specified at inference time. We observe that the model automatically learns to allocate resources proportionally to the task difficulty. Across model scales ranging from 1.5B to 32B parameters, our approach reduces chain-of-thought length on math tasks by 1.9-3.7x at matched accuracy relative to the base model used for RL training.

Multi-agent Undercover Gaming: Hallucination Removal via Counterfactual Test for Multimodal Reasoning

Hallucination continues to pose a major obstacle in the reasoning capabilities of large language models (LLMs). Although the Multi-Agent Debate (MAD) paradigm offers a promising solution by promoting consensus among multiple agents to enhance reliability, it relies on the unrealistic assumption that all debaters are rational and reflective, which is a condition that may not hold when agents themselves are prone to hallucinations. To address this gap, we introduce the Multi-agent Undercover Gaming (MUG) protocol, inspired by social deduction games like "Who is Undercover?". MUG reframes MAD as a process of detecting "undercover" agents (those suffering from hallucinations) by employing multimodal counterfactual tests. Specifically, we modify reference images to introduce counterfactual evidence and observe whether agents can accurately identify these changes, providing ground-truth for identifying hallucinating agents and enabling robust, crowd-powered multimodal reasoning. MUG advances MAD protocols along three key dimensions: (1) enabling factual verification beyond statistical consensus through counterfactual testing; (2) introducing cross-evidence reasoning via dynamically modified evidence sources instead of relying on static inputs; and (3) fostering active reasoning, where agents engage in probing discussions rather than passively answering questions. Collectively, these innovations offer a more reliable and effective framework for multimodal reasoning in LLMs. The source code can be accessed at https://github.com/YongLD/MUG.git.

Logarithmic Scores, Power-Law Discoveries: Disentangling Measurement from Coverage in Agent-Based Evaluation

LLM-based agent judges are an emerging approach to evaluating conversational AI, yet a fundamental uncertainty remains: can we trust their assessments, and if so, how many are needed? Through 960 sessions with two model pairs across 15 tasks, we show that persona-based agent judges produce evaluations indistinguishable from human raters in a Turing-style validation. We then identify a score-coverage dissociation: quality scores improve logarithmically with panel size, while unique issue discoveries follow a sublinear power law-both exhibit diminishing returns, but scores saturate roughly twice as fast as discoveries. We hypothesize this reflects a power law distribution of the finding space: critical issues are discovered first by small panels, while corner cases require progressively larger panels, analogous to species accumulation curves in ecology. The mechanism traces to ensemble diversity-Big Five personality conditioning makes agents probe different quality dimensions, with expert judges acting as adversarial probes that push discovery into the tail of the finding distribution. A controlled ablation confirms that structured persona conditioning, not simple prompting, is required to produce these scaling properties.
