The authors argue that current LLM approaches suffer from three main issues: skill libraries become outdated as real-world scenarios change, descriptions often fail to match the LLM's actual execution logic, and large skill collections exceed context limits, causing important skills to be missed.\n\nKDASO addresses these problems by continuously evolving the skill library using recent adjudication data. It refines skills based on the LLM's execution trajectories and uses context-budgeted routing to select the most relevant skills without exceeding token limits. The method combines knowledge-driven and data-driven optimization to keep the system current and efficient.\n\nExperiments in ride-hailing adjudication, legal liability, and logical reasoning show that KDASO outperforms existing general-purpose and domain-specific baselines. The authors report an 8.96% improvement when transferring skills to similar scenarios, suggesting the generated skills are stable and transferable. The paper highlights the potential for automated, interpretable reasoning in complex legal and liability contexts.","keyPoints":["KDASO evolves skill libraries using recent data to prevent staleness in liability adjudication.","The method uses context-budgeted routing to avoid omitting critical skills due to token limits.","KDASO shows an 8.96% improvement when transferring skills to concept-similar scenarios."],"whyItMatters":"This research offers a scalable way to keep LLM-based legal and liability tools accurate as rules and scenarios change, reducing errors from outdated knowledge or context overflow.","category":{"slug":"research","name":"Research","url":"https://digestai.news/category/research"},"entities":{"companies":[],"models":[],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-06T05:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-06T05:00:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":true,"sources":[{"outlet":"arXiv cs.AI","title":"KDASO: Knowledge-Data Dual-Driven Automated Skill Optimization for Liability Adjudication Tasks","url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2611.06972","publishedAt":"2026-11-06T05:00:00Z","type":"primary","primary":true,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Researchers propose KDASO for automated liability adjudication\", 6 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/researchers-propose-kdaso-for-automated-liability-adjudication","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Researchers propose KDASO for automated liability adjudication","datePublished":"2026-11-06T05:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/researchers-propose-kdaso-for-automated-liability-adjudication"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
