Diagnosing and Mitigating Compounding Failures in Agentic Persuasion via Taxonomic Strategy Retrieval

Diagnosing and Mitigating Compounding Failures in Agentic Persuasion via Taxonomic Strategy Retrieval

Short summary

Research introduces Taxonomic Strategy RAG (TS-RAG), which prevents semantic leakage in multi-agent systems through categorical bottleneck routing. TS-RAG improves persuasion-task win rates by 8 points and acts as a capability bridge for lighter models to outperform heavier agents. Includes Debate State Representation (DSR), a diagnostic tool for identifying and preventing agentic failure modes.

  • •TS-RAG uses categorical routing to eliminate semantic leakage and improve multi-agent system reasoning
  • •8-point win-rate improvement in persuasion tasks; lightweight agents outperform parametrically superior opponents
  • •DSR diagnostic tool prevents agentic failure modes including sycophantic conformity and problem drift
