    Advancing Reasoning Capabilities in Agentic AI Systems 

    December 4, 2025 | Mohit Bansal and Akshay Nambi

    This project aims to push the boundaries of agentic AI by addressing three critical challenges: long-horizon memory, safe and aligned tool usage, and adaptive reasoning. Current language models excel at text generation but lack agency—the ability to plan, act, and adapt in dynamic environments. The…

    Physics-Guided Vision-Language World Models for Agentic 4D Scene Understanding 

    December 4, 2025

    This project develops a unified framework for physically grounded world modelling that combines video-based temporal prediction with Gaussian Splatting for photorealistic 3D representation. A Physics Vision-Language Model translates natural-language instructions into transformations that respect physical constraints, enabling interpretable and goal-directed control in dynamic scenes. By…

    AgentGuard: Early-Warning and Routing for Predictable AgenticAI on Azure 

    December 4, 2025

    This project introduces AgentGuard, a monitoring and routing system designed to improve reliability and cost-efficiency in Azure-based agent workflows. By analysing early trajectory signals—such as reasoning patterns and tool usage—within the first 10–30% of an agent’s execution, AgentGuard predicts task outcomes and dynamically halts or…

    Visual episodic memory and use in agentic systems 

    December 4, 2025 | Derek Hoiem, Reuben Tan, and Yao Xiao

    Human intelligence is defined by the interplay of semantic and episodic memory. AI research almost exclusively develops semantic memory systems, but episodic memory has many open challenges, especially for vision. Episodic memory is the ability to recall specific past experiences and use the information together…

    Agentic Verifiers: Provably Safe Test-time scaling for Reasoning Models 

    December 4, 2025

    This project introduces a novel architecture for agentic AI systems that ensures accuracy, efficiency, and safety during reasoning. It addresses two key challenges—lack of steerability and absence of verifiable guarantees—by developing verifiers that can interject at any point in a model’s generation process. An auxiliary…
