Topics of Interest

What Fits FMAI

FMAI welcomes submissions that make agent failures reproducible, measurable, and fixable. We are especially interested in work that turns messy agent behavior into concrete research assets: precise failure definitions, minimal triggers, actionable diagnostics, and verified interventions.

  • Operational definitions with clear failure boundaries.
  • Reproducible triggers or minimal reproductions for the failure.
  • Comparable evaluation protocols or trace-level diagnostics.
  • Mitigation, repair, or intervention strategies with explicit evidence about what improves and what does not.

We also strongly encourage well-documented negative results. Failed mitigations, brittle training tricks, and interventions that only work under narrow conditions are all in scope if the analysis is careful and the lesson is transferable.

01

Failure Taxonomies and Mechanisms

Operational definitions, triggering preconditions, minimal reproductions, composable failure primitives, and falsifiable mechanistic hypotheses for agent failures.

02

Closed-loop Evaluation and Trace Diagnostics

Long-horizon or open-world evaluation protocols, interpretable process metrics, counterfactual tests, and logging tools that expose failures beyond terminal success.

03

Training and Systems Interventions

Mitigations, recovery strategies, tool and memory interface improvements, reward and budget design, and repair mechanisms with clearly verifiable trade-offs.
