Indexing the Unreadable: LLM-Native Recursive Construction and Search of Service Taxonomies

Wei Zheng, Yang Yan, Yiyang Shao et al.

The era of the Internet of Agents (IoA) is taking shape: LLM agents are expected to fulfill user goals by orchestrating fast-growing populations of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, Agent-to-Agent (A2A) endpoints, reusable skills, and other LLM-callable services. Yet LLMs face a structural mismatch with this regime: effective context is a scarce resource that does not scale with the number of services. Concatenating thousands of service descriptions into a prompt overflows the context window, and even when the window is large enough, models systematically under-attend to information in the middle of long inputs, the well-documented Lost-in-the-Middle phenomenon. This is fundamentally a question of context management for service discovery. To address this, we propose an LLM-native progressive-disclosure scheme and its concrete instantiation, A2X (Agent-to-Anything service discovery): an LLM-driven pipeline that automatically organizes the registered services into a hierarchical taxonomy and walks it layer by layer at query time, so that every LLM call sees only a small candidate set highly relevant to the user query. This decouples effective-context scarcity from registry size and significantly reduces token consumption while improving retrieval accuracy. Compared to full-context dumping, A2X achieves a 6.2-point Hit Rate gain at one-ninth the prompt-token cost; compared to the state-of-the-art open-source embedding-based baseline, A2X improves Hit Rate by more than 20 points.

A Missing Value Filling Model Based on Feature Fusion Enhanced Autoencoder

Xinyao Liu, Shengdong Du, Tianrui Li et al.

With the advent of the big data era, the data quality problem is becoming more critical. Among many factors, data with missing values is one primary issue, and thus developing effective imputation models is a key topic in the research community. Recently, a major research direction is to employ neural network models such as self-organizing mappings or automatic encoders for filling missing values. However, these classical methods can hardly discover interrelated features and common features simultaneously among data attributes. Especially, it is a very typical problem for classical autoencoders that they often learn invalid constant mappings, which dramatically hurts the filling performance. To solve the above-mentioned problems, we propose a missing-value-filling model based on a feature-fusion-enhanced autoencoder. We first incorporate into an autoencoder a hidden layer that consists of de-tracking neurons and radial basis function neurons, which can enhance the ability of learning interrelated features and common features. Besides, we develop a missing value filling strategy based on dynamic clustering that is incorporated into an iterative optimization process. This design can enhance the multi-dimensional feature fusion ability and thus improves the dynamic collaborative missing-value-filling performance. The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated by extensive experiments compared to a variety of baseline methods on thirteen data sets.
