MiniRep: Robust Reputation-Based Aggregation for Multi-Agent Debate

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.39297v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) are rapidly evolving into an open agentic ecosystem. To support trustworthy collaboration, industry initiatives increasingly assess agent reputation from past behavior and provide performance leaderboards. However, reputation derived from past performance may not reliably predict an agent's behavior on new tasks, particularly when malicious agents can adapt their behavior and influence other agents during collaboration. We study reputation in multi-agent debate (MAD), where multiple agents answer the same query, debate to improve their answers, and aggregate them into a final output. We present MiniRep, a reputation-based aggregation system for MAD under malicious agents. To ground our
