A Tale of Two Graphs: Separating Knowledge Exploration from Outline Structure for Open-Ended Deep Research
Zhuofan Shi, Ming Ma, Zekun Yao +7
Open-Ended Deep Research (OEDR) pushes LLM agents beyond short-form QA toward long-horizon workflows that iteratively search, connect, and synthesize evidence into structured repor…
TreeSeeker: Tree-Structured Trial, Error, and Return in Deep Search
Zhuofan Shi, Mingzhe Ma, Lu Wang +8
Deep search requires agents to answer complex questions through multi-step web search, browsing, evidence comparison, and synthesis. A central challenge is deciding how to search w…
SGR-Bench: Benchmarking Search Agents on State-Gated Retrieval
Ningyuan Li, Haiyang Shen, Mugeng Liu +4
Recent advances in large language models and tool-using agents have expanded the range of benchmarked web tasks. Yet an important class of specialized retrieval tasks remains under…
MindLoom: Composing Thought Modes for Frontier-Level Reasoning Data Synthesis
Haiyang Shen, Taian Guo, Xuanzhong Chen +11
Although LLMs have made substantial progress in reasoning, systematically producing frontier-level reasoning data remains difficult. Existing synthesis methods often have limited v…
DeepWeb-Bench: A Deep Research Benchmark Demanding Massive Cross-Source Evidence and Long-Horizon Derivation
Sixiong Xie, Zhuofan Shi, Haiyang Shen +8
Deep research, in which an agent searches the open web, collects evidence, and derives an answer through extended reasoning, is a prominent use case for frontier language models. F…
ViDR: Grounding Multimodal Deep Research Reports in Source Visual Evidence
Zhuofan Shi, Peilun Jia, Baoqin Sun +4
Recent deep research systems have improved the ability of large language models to produce long, grounded reports through iterative retrieval and reasoning. However, most text-cent…
