They struggle to reflect complex legal requirements and are hard to adapt to an organization's own policies. AgenticEval addresses this by treating safety evaluation as an ongoing, self-updating process rather than a single audit. In this multi-agent framework: 2. **[Deliberative Searcher: Improving LLM Reliability via Reinforcement Learning with Constraints](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/yin-2026-deliberative-searcher-improving-llm-reliability/)** *(2026)* Search-augmented LLMs often give wrong answers while sounding fully sure of themselves. The authors address this with Deliberative Searcher, an agent that puts reasoning first and treats web retrieval as a supporting tool. While generating its chain of thought, the model can think, issue a search query, and read a… ## All works 6 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Symmetric Cross Entropy for Robust Learning With Noisy Labels ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/iccv.2019.00041) IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) · no summary yet**Yisen Wang et al.*2019 · 1,012 citations* 2. **[Characterizing Adversarial Subspaces Using Local Intrinsic Dimensionality ↗](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.02613) arXiv (Cornell University) · no summary yet**Xingjun Ma et al.*2018 · 464 citations* 3. **[Revisiting Adversarial Robustness Distillation: Robust Soft Labels Make Student Better ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/iccv48922.2021.01613) IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) · no summary yet**Bojia Zi et al.*2021 · 100 citations* 4. **[Copy, Right?
