NeurIPS 2026 workshop targets better evaluation methods for interactive agents
cocoweixu · x · 2026-07-29
NeurIPS 2026 will host a workshop on evaluating interactive agents, with submissions open through August 29, 2026.
- The workshop focuses on benchmarks, trajectory-level metrics, user and environment simulation, long-horizon reliability, safety, and ethics.
- It argues that interactive agents need better evaluation methods than single-turn LLMs because success depends on sustained interaction over long trajectories.
- Real-user evaluation is often too slow, expensive, hard to reproduce, and difficult to scale.
- The agenda includes evaluation for multi-turn assistants, tool-using agents, computer-use agents, collaborative systems, and realistic simulator validation.
