Abstract
Deep learning models excel at detecting anomaly patterns in normal data. However, they do not provide a direct solution for anomaly classification and scalability across diverse control systems, frequently failing to distinguish genuine faults from nuisance faults caused by noise or the control system's large transient response. Consequently, because algorithmic fault validation remains unscalable, full Verification and Validation (V\&V) operations are still managed by Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) analysis, resulting in an unsustainable manual workload. To automate this essential oversight, we propose Agent-Integrated Verification and Validation (AIVV), a hybrid framework that deploys Large Language Models (LLMs) as a deliberative outer loop. Because rigorous system verification strictly depends on accurate validation, AIVV escalates mathematically flagged anomalies to a role-specialized LLM council. The council agents perform collaborative validation by semantically validating nuisance and true failures based on natural-language (NL) requirements to secure a high-fidelity system-verification baseline. Building on this foundation, the council then performs system verification by assessing post-fault responses against NL operational tolerances, ultimately generating actionable V\&V artifacts, such as gain-tuning proposals. Experiments on a time-series simulator for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) demonstrate that AIVV successfully digitizes the HITL V\&V process, overcoming the limitations of rule-based fault classification and offering a scalable blueprint for LLM-mediated oversight in time-series data domains.
