Title: Exploration and Exploitation Errors Are Measurable for Language Model Agents

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.13151v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language Model (LM) agents are increasingly used in complex open-ended decision-making tasks, from AI coding to physical AI. A core requirement in these settings is the ability to both explore the problem space and exploit acquired knowledge effectively. However, systematically distinguishing and quantifying exploration and exploitation from observed actions without access to the agent's internal policy remains challenging. To address this, we desi
