Tabular anomaly detection is challenging because real-world tables contain heterogeneous columns, ranging from structured identifiers to free-form text. Existing methods face a fundamental trilemma: rule-based systems require extensive manual configuration and fail on novel schemas; statistical methods scale efficiently but miss semantic errors; and LLM-based approaches understand semantics but incur prohibitive per-cell inference costs. No prior method simultaneously addresses semantic heterogeneity, domain-specific validation rules, and enterprise-scale processing.We introduce TabGuard, an agentic framework that resolves this trilemma through semantic routing. Using LLM function calling, the system analyzes a small sample of each column and dynamically selects the most effective validation strategy, routing to a regex-based validator for syntactic patterns, a code-generation validator for domain-specific rules (such as Luhn checksums for credit cards), or an embedding-based validator for distributional outliers. This architecture decouples expensive cognitive reasoning (O(m) LLM calls for m columns) from scalable programmatic execution, enabling deployment on enterprise datasets without per-cell inference.

We introduce UFO, a UI-Fcused agent designed to fulfill user requests tailored to Windows OS applications by observing and analyzing the GUI and control information of these applications. UFO utilizes a hierarchical dual-agent framework that decomposes user requests using a divide-and-conquer approach, enabling seamless navigation and addressing sub-tasks across multiple applications. It also incorporates a control interaction module tailored for Windows OS, which detects control elements effectively and allows for fully automated execution. As a result, UFO simplifies complex and time-consuming processes into tasks that can be completed with natural language commands.We conducted testing of UFO across 9 popular Windows applications, encompassing a variety of scenarios. The results derived from both quantitative metrics and real-case studies, underscore the superior effectiveness of UFOin fulfilling user requests. To the best of our knowledge, UFO stands as the first UI agent specifically tailored for task completion within the Windows OS.
