The Red Queen Gödel Machine: Co-Evolving Agents and Their Evaluators

Alex Iacob, Andrej Jovanović, William F. Shen +10

Self-improving agents are state-of-the-art (SOTA) on agentic coding benchmarks and have recently been extended to general domains. However, their search methods generally assume a…

Rethinking Data Curation in LLM Training: Online Reweighting Offers Better Generalization than Offline Methods

Wanru Zhao, Yihong Chen, Yuzhi Tang +6

Data curation is a critical yet under-explored area in large language model (LLM) training. Existing methods, such as data selection and mixing, operate in an offline paradigm, det…
