Product catalogs are the backbone of e-commerce sites, yet a large number of structured attributes (SAs) -- such as material, color, and shape -- often have missing values. Typically, SA values are extracted from product information, including titles and descriptions. While LLM-based generator-evaluator frameworks have demonstrated effectiveness for SA prediction -- where an LLM generates SA values and another evaluates them -- they face challenges when the Generator and Evaluator produce conflicting outputs, as either component can make mistakes. We introduce \texttt{CatalogAgent}, a novel agentic system that continuously improves Generator and Evaluator models for e-commerce catalog enrichment. When disagreements arise from (1) internal conflicts between the LLM-based Generator and Evaluator, or (2) external feedback from sellers on LLM outputs, a Supervisor Agent intervenes to mediate these conflicts and make final decisions. The system also incorporates a Memory Base and a Memory Summarizer that stores Supervisor Agent activities from individual cases and aggregates patterns into learnings. These learnings are fed back to the worker Generator and Evaluator LLMs, enabling self-improvement without human intervention. Through context engineering -- injecting learnings and insights into worker LLMs' contexts -- the system successfully transfers the Supervisor's capabilities to the Generator and Evaluator, improving their performance by 15.24\% and 13.98\%, respectively. Our experiments demonstrate a new paradigm of Supervisor Agent-mediated self-learning systems for improving generative AI model accuracy.

Relative pose estimation is a fundamental capability for collaborative perception and coordination in multi-robot systems. However, robots encountering each other in real-world environments often operate in short interaction windows and must operate under limited communication bandwidth with intermittent or missing visual overlap caused by occlusions or limited fields of view. Existing approaches typically rely on global reference frames, assume sustained view overlap, or incur prohibitive communication costs, thereby limiting their applicability to ephemeral collaborative perception. To address these challenges, we introduce communication-efficient relative pose estimation (CERPE), a system-level framework that coordinates vision foundation models to jointly estimate ego-motion and inter-robot relative pose. CERPE reduces unnecessary raw-observation exchange by using continuously shared fixed-size descriptors to gate event-triggered raw-image requests independently of pose estimation. Non-overlapping encounters are handled by propagating inter-robot relative poses through metrically scaled ego-motion, thus maintaining relative pose estimates even in the absence of visual overlap. Experiments in simulation and real-world robots show that CERPE improves 6-DoF relative pose estimation over selected baselines in ephemeral collaborative perception.
