Description: The research addresses how proactive agents should decide when to use an expensive Large Language Model (LLM) for action. Instead of calling the LLM constantly, a new graph-first approach uses a lightweight Temporal-Graph Learning model to filter events. This model predicts whether an intervention is needed and which entities are relevant, only invoking the LLM when the initial filter passes.
