Effective Strategies for Asynchronous Software Engineering Agents
Jiayi Geng, Graham Neubig
AI agents have become increasingly capable at isolated software engineering (SWE) tasks such as resolving issues on Github. Yet long-horizon tasks involving multiple interdependent…
Modeling Distinct Human Interaction in Web Agents
Faria Huq, Zora Zhiruo Wang, Zhanqiu Guo +6
Despite rapid progress in autonomous web agents, human involvement remains essential for shaping preferences and correcting agent behavior as tasks unfold. However, current agentic…
PACE: A Proxy for Agentic Capability Evaluation
Yueqi Song, Lintang Sutawika, Jiarui Liu +8
Evaluating LLM agents on benchmarks like SWE-Bench and GAIA can be expensive, time-consuming, and requires complex infrastructure. A single evaluation can cost thousands of dollars…
Humans are Missing from AI Coding Agent Research
Zora Z. Wang, John Yang, Kilian Lieret +10
Recent progress in AI coding agent research has led to rapid improvements in agents' ability to autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks, from editing large codebase…
PPT-Eval: A Benchmark for Computer-Use Agents on PowerPoint Tasks
Apurva Gandhi, Vishwas Suryanarayanan, Raja Hasnain Anwar +6
Creating and editing slides is a rich, multimodal activity that is ubiquitous in professional and educational settings, making it an ideal testbed for real-world computer-use agent…
Discretizing Reward Models
Vijay Viswanathan, Shiqi Wang, Devamanyu Hazarika +4
Despite their widespread use, the role of reward models in shaping reinforcement learning is poorly understood. Reward models offer a tempting promise: they automatically estimate…
