Title:A Multi-Agent AI System for Automated High School Transcript Processing: Collaborative Document Analysis at Scale

View PDF HTML (experimental)Abstract:Each year, college admissions offices face an overwhelming challenge: processing millions of high school transcripts, each with unique formats, grading systems, and layouts. This manual process creates operational bottlenecks that delay admissions decisions and consume valuable resources. We present a transformative solution through a multi-agent AI system where specialized agents collaborate to automatically process diverse transcript formats through intelligent coordination and communication. Our multi-agent architecture consists of three specialized agents-a Pattern Recognition Agent for format-specific parsing, a Semantic Analysis Agent for natural language understanding, and a Vision Intelligence Agent for multimodal document analysis-coordinated by an Orchestration Agent that manages agent communication and result reconciliation. Our key innovation lies in agent-based quality control using GPA extraction as a coordination signal, ensuring reliable agent collaboration and preventing critical information loss. When evaluated on 40 real world transcripts from high schools across 13 U.S. states, our agent system successfully processed every document, achieving 96.7% accuracy compared to expert manual review while maintaining practical processing speeds of 45 seconds per transcript. This work demonstrates how multi-agent coordination can solve complex document processing challenges, offering institutions a scalable, collaborative AI solution that preserves accuracy while dramatically reducing processing time.

Formalizing Numerical Analysis: An Agent Pipeline and Quality Audit Beyond Kernel Acceptance

While AI agents can now formalize advanced mathematics in Lean 4, relying solely on compiler acceptance hides critical semantic errors. This study introduces a rigorous three-dimensional framework to audit AI-generated formalizations, revealing that current metrics significantly overstate AI's mathematical accuracy.

Capability Minimization as a Safety Primitive: Risk-Aware Causal Gating for Least-Privilege LLM Agents

Researchers introduce Risk-Aware Causal Gating (RACG), a framework that enhances LLM agent safety by deciding whether to act, defer, or abstain based on counterfactual risk. By separating causal risk from predictive uncertainty, RACG significantly reduces high-cost errors in high-stakes decision-making.
