Evaluating relevance in large-scale search systems is fundamentally constrained by the governance gap between nuanced, resource-constrained human oversight and the high-throughput requirements of production systems. While traditional approaches rely on engagement proxies or sparse manual review, these methods often fail to capture the full scope of high-impact relevance failures. We present \textbf{SAGE} (Scalable AI Governance \& Evaluation), a framework that operationalizes high-quality human product judgment as a scalable evaluation signal. At the core of SAGE is a bidirectional calibration loop where natural-language \emph{Policy}, curated \emph{Precedent}, and an \emph{LLM Surrogate Judge} co-evolve. SAGE systematically resolves semantic ambiguities and misalignments, transforming subjective relevance judgment into an executable, multi-dimensional rubric with near human-level agreement. To bridge the gap between frontier model reasoning and industrial-scale inference, we apply teacher-student distillation to transfer high-fidelity judgments into compact student surrogates at \textbf{92$\times$} lower cost. Deployed within LinkedIn Search ecosystems, SAGE guided model itera

Effective mental health counseling is a complex, theory-driven process requiring the simultaneous integration of psychological frameworks, real-time distress signals, and strategic intervention planning. This level of clinical reasoning is critical for safety and therapeutic effectiveness but is often missing in general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs). We introduce SAGE (Strategy-Aware Graph-Enhanced), a novel framework designed to bridge the gap between structured clinical knowledge and generative AI. SAGE constructs a heterogeneous graph that unifies conversational dynamics with a psychologically grounded layer, explicitly anchoring interactions in a theory-driven lexicon. Our architecture first employs a Next Strategy Classifier to identify the optimal therapeutic intervention. Subsequently, a Graph-Aware Attention mechanism projects graph-derived structural signals into soft prompts, conditioning the LLM to generate responses that maintain clinical depth. Validated through both automated metrics and expert human evaluation, SAGE outperforms baselines in strategy prediction and recommended response quality. By providing actionable intervention recommendations, SAGE serves a

Agentic LLMs must continuously decide whether newly extracted facts should be added, merged with existing memories, or ignored, yet prior work has focused more on retrieval and storage than on principled write-side control. We frame memory evolution as a novelty-detection problem and propose SAGE, a Spherical Adaptive Gate for memory Evolution that scores candidate facts with a von Mises-Fisher-based density estimator over memory embeddings and routes them with an adaptive threshold that tracks memory-store geometry. SAGE resolves clearly novel facts as ADD, clearly redundant facts as NOOP, and sends only uncertain cases to an LLM merge step, reducing expensive write-time reasoning. On LoCoMo, SAGE achieves the best average token-F1 against Mem0 on all seven open-weight backbone comparisons, while on GPT-4o-mini it reduces add-phase API cost by 3.4$\times$ and add-phase latency by 2.5$\times$ with only a small average judge-score gap. As a drop-in binary gate for A-Mem, SAGE skips roughly 16-18% of LLM calls across five models with minimal quality change on open-weight backbones. These results suggest that novelty-aware write control is a practical lever for improving both memory q

Software vulnerabilities are a primary threat to modern infrastructure. While static analysis and Graph Neural Networks have long served as the foundation for vulnerability detection, the emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has introduced a transformative paradigm driven by superior semantic reasoning and cross-environment generalization. However, in the context of LLM-based vulnerability detection, we identify a fundamental bottleneck in these models termed \textbf{Signal Submersion}: a state where features related to vulnerability are activated internally but numerically overwhelmed by dominant functional semantics. To address this, we propose \textbf{SAGE} (\textbf{S}ignal-\textbf{A}mplified \textbf{G}uided \textbf{E}mbeddings), a framework that shifts from passive signal submersion to active signal recovery. SAGE integrates task-conditional Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) to isolate and amplify these faint vulnerability signals. Extensive evaluations on BigVul, PrimeVul, and PreciseBugs demonstrate that SAGE achieves state-of-the-art performance. Notably, SAGE mitigates Signal Submersion by increasing the internal Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by 12.7$\times$ via sparse manifold

As humans, we are natural any-horizon reasoners, i.e., we can decide whether to iteratively skim long videos or watch short ones in full when necessary for a given task. With this in mind, one would expect video reasoning models to reason flexibly across different durations. However, SOTA models are still trained to predict answers in a single turn while processing a large number of frames, akin to watching an entire long video, requiring significant resources. This raises the question: Is it possible to develop performant any-horizon video reasoning systems? Inspired by human behavior, we first propose SAGE, an agent system that performs multi-turn reasoning on long videos while handling simpler problems in a single turn. Secondly, we introduce an easy synthetic data generation pipeline using Gemini-2.5-Flash to train the orchestrator, SAGE-MM, which lies at the core of SAGE. We further propose an effective RL post-training recipe essential for instilling any-horizon reasoning ability in SAGE-MM. Thirdly, we curate SAGE-Bench with an average duration of greater than 700 seconds for evaluating video reasoning ability in real-world entertainment use cases. Lastly, we empirically val

The significant variability in cell size and shape continues to pose a major obstacle in computer-assisted cancer detection on gigapixel Whole Slide Images (WSIs), due to cellular heterogeneity. Current CNN-Transformer hybrids use static computation graphs with fixed routing. This leads to extra computation and makes it harder to adapt to changes in input. We propose Shape-Adapting Gated Experts (SAGE), an input-adaptive framework that enables dynamic expert routing in heterogeneous visual networks. SAGE reconfigures static backbones into dynamically routed expert architectures via a dual-path design with hierarchical gating and a Shape-Adapting Hub (SA-Hub) that harmonizes feature representations across convolutional and transformer modules. Embodied as SAGE with ConvNeXt and Vision Transformer UNet (SAGE-ConvNeXt+ViT-UNet), our model achieves a Dice score of 95.23% on EBHI, DSC scores of 92.78% and 91.42% on GlaS Test A and Test B, respectively, and 91.26% DSC at the WSI level on DigestPath, while exhibiting robust generalization under distribution shifts by adaptively balancing local refinement and global context. SAGE establishes a scalable foundation for dynamic expert routing

Recent advances in generative networks have enabled new approaches to subsurface velocity model synthesis, offering a compelling alternative to traditional methods such as Full Waveform Inversion. However, these approaches predominantly rely on the availability of large-scale datasets of high-quality, geologically realistic subsurface velocity models, which are often difficult to obtain in practice. We introduce SAGE, a novel framework for statistically consistent proxy velocity generation from incomplete observations, specifically sparse well logs and migrated seismic images. During training, SAGE learns a proxy posterior over velocity models conditioned on both modalities (wells and seismic); at inference, it produces full-resolution velocity fields conditioned solely on migrated images, with well information implicitly encoded in the learned distribution. This enables the generation of geologically plausible and statistically accurate velocity realizations. We validate SAGE on both synthetic and field datasets, demonstrating its ability to capture complex subsurface variability under limited observational constraints. Furthermore, samples drawn from the learned proxy distributio

Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on standard knowledge evaluation benchmarks, yet recent work shows that their knowledge capabilities remain brittle under question variants that test the same knowledge in different forms. Robustness augmentation of existing knowledge evaluation benchmarks is therefore necessary, but current LLM-assisted generate-then-verify pipelines are costly and difficult to scale due to low-yield variant generation and unreliable variant verification. We propose SAGE (Scalable Automated Generation of Robustness BEnchmarks), a framework for scalable robustness augmentation of knowledge evaluation benchmarks using fine-tuned smaller models. SAGE consists of VariantQual, a rubric-based verifier trained on human-labeled seed data, and VariantGen, a variant generator initialized with supervised fine-tuning and further optimized with reinforcement learning using VariantQual as the reward model. Experiments on HellaSwag show that SAGE constructs a large-scale robustness-augmented benchmark with quality comparable to the human-annotated HellaSwag-Pro at substantially lower cost, while the fine-tuned models further generalize to MMLU without bench

Fraud detection in payment, e-commerce, and telecommunications systems requires accuracy at the individual level, robustness under severe class imbalance, and ease of understanding for risk managers. Existing methods fall at least one of these requirements: automated machine learning systems search a fixed numerical space without semantic awareness of the dataset; graph neural network-based methods require pre-defined relational graphs and remain opaque at the individual-decision level; and the design of general-purpose large language model (LLM) agents does not consider the recall and precision constraints specific to real-world fraud detection. In this paper, we propose SAGE, the first end-to-end LLM-driven multi-agent framework for fraud detection. SAGE coordinates three dedicated agents that make decisions based on a six-layer Data Diagnostic Tree (DDT) and a Markov decision process guided by natural-language gradients, automatically optimizing the model under a fraud-specific reward. On five fraud datasets and five LLM backbones, SAGE wins $96.00\%$ of method--dataset comparisons and improves F1 by an average of $40.86\%$ over baselines. The code is available at https://github

The AdamW optimizer, while standard for LLM pretraining, is a critical memory bottleneck, consuming optimizer states equivalent to twice the model's size. Although light-state optimizers like SinkGD attempt to address this issue, we identify the embedding layer dilemma: these methods fail to handle the sparse, high-variance gradients inherent to embeddings, forcing a hybrid design that reverts to AdamW and partially negates the memory gains. We propose SAGE (Sign Adaptive GradiEnt), a novel optimizer that resolves this dilemma by replacing AdamW in this hybrid structure. SAGE combines a Lion-style update direction with a new, memory-efficient $O(d)$ adaptive scale. This scale acts as a "safe damper," provably bounded by 1.0, which tames high-variance dimensions more effectively than existing methods. This superior stability allows SAGE to achieve better convergence. On Llama models up to 1.3B parameters, our SAGE-based hybrid achieves new state-of-the-art perplexity, outperforming all baselines, including SinkGD hybrid, while significantly reducing optimizer state memory.

As Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly used for question-answering (QA), relying on static, pre-annotated references for evaluation poses significant challenges in cost, scalability, and completeness. Meanwhile, using LLMs themselves as evaluators without external grounding remains unreliable for objective tasks, as they systematically over-accept incorrect answers, fabricate supporting rationales, and degrade sharply on questions that fall outside their training data. We propose Search-AuGmented Evaluation (SAGE), a framework to assess LLM outputs without fixed ground-truth answers. Unlike conventional metrics that compare to static references or depend solely on LLM-as-a-judge knowledge, SAGE acts as an agent that actively retrieves and synthesizes external evidence. It iteratively generates web queries, collects information, summarizes findings, and refines subsequent searches through reflection. By reducing dependence on static reference-driven evaluation protocols, SAGE offers a scalable and adaptive alternative for evaluating the factuality of LLMs. Experimental results on multiple free-form QA benchmarks show that SAGE achieves substantial to perfect agreement w

Large language models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, yet their internal mechanisms remain largely opaque, posing a significant challenge to their safe and reliable deployment. Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) have emerged as a promising tool for decomposing LLM representations into more interpretable features, but explaining the features captured by SAEs remains a challenging task. In this work, we propose SAGE (SAE AGentic Explainer), an agent-based framework that recasts feature interpretation from a passive, single-pass generation task into an active, explanation-driven process. SAGE implements a rigorous methodology by systematically formulating multiple explanations for each feature, designing targeted experiments to test them, and iteratively refining explanations based on empirical activation feedback. Experiments on features from SAEs of diverse language models demonstrate that SAGE produces explanations with significantly higher generative and predictive accuracy compared to state-of-the-art baselines.an agent-based framework that recasts feature interpretation from a passive, single-pass generation task into an active, explanationdriven process. SAGE implements a rig

Training modern neural networks on large datasets is computationally and energy intensive. We present SAGE, a streaming data-subset selection method that maintains a compact Frequent Directions (FD) sketch of gradient geometry in $O(\ell D)$ memory and prioritizes examples whose sketched gradients align with a consensus direction. The approach eliminates $N \times N$ pairwise similarities and explicit $N \times \ell$ gradient stores, yielding a simple two-pass, GPU-friendly pipeline. Leveraging FD's deterministic approximation guarantees, we analyze how agreement scoring preserves gradient energy within the principal sketched subspace. Across multiple benchmarks, SAGE trains with small kept-rate budgets while retaining competitive accuracy relative to full-data training and recent subset-selection baselines, and reduces end-to-end compute and peak memory. Overall, SAGE offers a practical, constant-memory alternative that complements pruning and model compression for efficient training.

Traditional knowledge graph (KG) embedding methods aim to represent entities and relations in a low-dimensional space, primarily focusing on static graphs. However, real-world KGs are dynamically evolving with the constant addition of entities, relations and facts. To address such dynamic nature of KGs, several continual knowledge graph embedding (CKGE) methods have been developed to efficiently update KG embeddings to accommodate new facts while maintaining learned knowledge. As KGs grow at different rates and scales in real-world scenarios, existing CKGE methods often fail to consider the varying scales of updates and lack systematic evaluation throughout the entire update process. In this paper, we propose SAGE, a scale-aware gradual evolution framework for CKGE. Specifically, SAGE firstly determine the embedding dimensions based on the update scales and expand the embedding space accordingly. The Dynamic Distillation mechanism is further employed to balance the preservation of learned knowledge and the incorporation of new facts. We conduct extensive experiments on seven benchmarks, and the results show that SAGE consistently outperforms existing baselines, with a notable impro

Successfully solving long-horizon manipulation tasks remains a fundamental challenge. These tasks involve extended action sequences and complex object interactions, presenting a critical gap between high-level symbolic planning and low-level continuous control. To bridge this gap, two essential capabilities are required: robust long-horizon task planning and effective goal-conditioned manipulation. Existing task planning methods, including traditional and LLM-based approaches, often exhibit limited generalization or sparse semantic reasoning. Meanwhile, image-conditioned control methods struggle to adapt to unseen tasks. To tackle these problems, we propose SAGE, a novel framework for Scene Graph-Aware Guidance and Execution in Long-Horizon Manipulation Tasks. SAGE utilizes semantic scene graphs as a structural representation for scene states. A structural scene graph enables bridging task-level semantic reasoning and pixel-level visuo-motor control. This also facilitates the controllable synthesis of accurate, novel sub-goal images. SAGE consists of two key components: (1) a scene graph-based task planner that uses VLMs and LLMs to parse the environment and reason about physically

Real-world data collection for embodied agents remains costly and unsafe, calling for scalable, realistic, and simulator-ready 3D environments. However, existing scene-generation systems often rely on rule-based or task-specific pipelines, yielding artifacts and physically invalid scenes. We present SAGE, an agentic framework that, given a user-specified embodied task (e.g., "pick up a bowl and place it on the table"), understands the intent and automatically generates simulation-ready environments at scale. The agent couples multiple generators for layout and object composition with critics that evaluate semantic plausibility, visual realism, and physical stability. Through iterative reasoning and adaptive tool selection, it self-refines the scenes until meeting user intent and physical validity. The resulting environments are realistic, diverse, and directly deployable in modern simulators for policy training. Policies trained purely on this data exhibit clear scaling trends and generalize to unseen objects and layouts, demonstrating the promise of simulation-driven scaling for embodied AI. Code, demos, and the SAGE-10k dataset can be found on the project page here: https://resea

As large language models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on traditional benchmarks, there is an urgent need for more challenging evaluation frameworks that probe deeper aspects of semantic understanding. We introduce SAGE (Semantic Alignment & Generalization Evaluation), a rigorous benchmark designed to assess both embedding models and similarity metrics across five categories: Human Preference Alignment, Transformation Robustness, Information Sensitivity, Clustering Performance, and Retrieval Robustness. Unlike existing benchmarks that focus on isolated capabilities, SAGE evaluates semantic understanding through adversarial conditions, noisy transformations, and nuanced human judgment tasks across 30+ datasets. Our comprehensive evaluation of 9 embedding models and classical metrics reveals significant performance gaps, with no single approach excelling across all dimensions. For instance, while state-of-the-art embedding models like OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large dominate in aligning with human preferences (0.682 vs. 0.591 for the best classical metric), they are significantly outperformed by classical metrics on information sensitivity tasks, where Jaccard Similarity achi

A new paradigm to estimate the gradient of a black-box scalar function is introduced, considering it as a member of a set of admissible gradients that are computed using existing function samples. Results on gradient estimate accuracy, derived from a multivariate Taylor series analysis, are used to express the set of admissible gradients through linear inequalities. An approach to refine this gradient estimate set to a desired precision is proposed as well, using an adaptive sampling approach. The resulting framework allows one to estimate gradients from data sets affected by noise with finite bounds, to provide the theoretical best attainable gradient estimate accuracy, and the optimal sampling distance from the point of interest to achieve the best refinement of the gradient set estimates. Using these results, a new algorithm is proposed, named Set-based Adaptive Gradient Estimator (SAGE), which features both sample efficiency and robustness to noise. The performance of SAGE are demonstrated by comparing it with commonly-used and latest gradient estimators from literature and practice, in the context of numerical optimization with a first-order method. The results of an extensive

This paper proposes Meta-SAGE, a novel approach for improving the scalability of deep reinforcement learning models for combinatorial optimization (CO) tasks. Our method adapts pre-trained models to larger-scale problems in test time by suggesting two components: a scale meta-learner (SML) and scheduled adaptation with guided exploration (SAGE). First, SML transforms the context embedding for subsequent adaptation of SAGE based on scale information. Then, SAGE adjusts the model parameters dedicated to the context embedding for a specific instance. SAGE introduces locality bias, which encourages selecting nearby locations to determine the next location. The locality bias gradually decays as the model is adapted to the target instance. Results show that Meta-SAGE outperforms previous adaptation methods and significantly improves scalability in representative CO tasks.
