BackTrend: Evaluating Scientific Weak-Signal Prediction via Backward Reconstruction
Xiao Zhou, Yilun Zhao, Owen Jiang +4
Scientific weak signals are early, low-visibility research directions that later become central to mature scientific topics, yet existing resources such as trend tracking, citation…
How Good Are Frontier Models at Physics? Expert Re-Grading Reveals Broken Evaluations and Near-Saturation of Leading Benchmarks
Ali Ansari, Haoran Sun, Andy Zeyi Liu +48
Low reported scores on leading physics benchmarks, including those featured in the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index (2026), suggest that frontier language models still strugg…
Small Language Models as Judges for Rubric-Based Reinforcement Learning
Fengyu Xie, Yilun Zhao, Bingsen Chen +2
Rubric-based reinforcement learning extends RL beyond tasks with exact answers or rule-based verifiers by scoring responses against instance-specific criteria. However, this makes…
Measuring the Gap Between Human and LLM Research Ideas
Ziyu Chen, Yilun Zhao, Arman Cohan
LLMs are increasingly used to brainstorm research ideas, but existing evaluations mostly judge individual ideas by novelty, feasibility, or expert preference. We instead ask: how f…
VideoKR: Towards Knowledge- and Reasoning-Intensive Video Understanding
Lin Fu, Zheyuan Yang, Yang Wang +3
We introduce VideoKR, the first large-scale training corpus specifically designed to strengthen knowledge- and reasoning-intensive video understanding. It comprises 315K video reas…
Herculean: An Agentic Benchmark for Financial Intelligence
Xueqing Peng, Zhuohan Xie, Yupeng Cao +60
As AI agents advance, the central question is no longer whether they can solve isolated financial tasks, but whether their capabilities generalize across complete professional work…
Rethinking Reasoning-Intensive Retrieval: Evaluating and Advancing Retrievers in Agentic Search Systems
Yilun Zhao, Jinbiao Wei, Tingyu Song +3
Reasoning-intensive retrieval aims to surface evidence that supports downstream reasoning rather than merely matching topical similarity. This capability is increasingly important…
Can AI Be a Good Peer Reviewer? A Survey of Peer Review Process, Evaluation, and the Future
Sihong Wu, Owen Jiang, Yilun Zhao +5
Peer review is a multi-stage process involving reviews, rebuttals, meta-reviews, final decisions, and subsequent manuscript revisions. Recent advances in large language models (LLM…
Step-level Optimization for Efficient Computer-use Agents
Jinbiao Wei, Kangqi Ni, Yilun Zhao +2
Computer-use agents provide a promising path toward general software automation because they can interact directly with arbitrary graphical user interfaces instead of relying on br…
RbtAct: Rebuttal as Supervision for Actionable Review Feedback Generation
Sihong Wu, Yiling Ma, Yilun Zhao +4
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used across the scientific workflow, including to draft peer-review reports. However, many AI-generated reviews are superficial and in…
A Survey of Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning: From Perception, Alignment to Reasoning
Tianyu Yang, Sihong Wu, Yilun Zhao +6
Multimodal Mathematical Reasoning (MMR) has recently attracted increasing attention for its capability to solve mathematical problems involving both textual and visual modalities.…
SAGE: Benchmarking and Improving Retrieval for Deep Research Agents
Tiansheng Hu, Yilun Zhao, Canyu Zhang +2
Deep research agents have emerged as powerful systems for addressing complex queries. Meanwhile, LLM-based retrievers have demonstrated strong capability in following instructions…
ANCHOR: Branch-Point Data Generation for GUI Agents
Jinbiao Wei, Yilun Zhao, Kangqi Ni +1
End-to-end GUI agents for real desktop environments require large amounts of high-quality interaction data, yet collecting human demonstrations is expensive and existing synthetic…
MedTutor: A Retrieval-Augmented LLM System for Case-Based Medical Education
Dongsuk Jang, Ziyao Shangguan, Kyle Tegtmeyer +4
The learning process for medical residents presents significant challenges, demanding both the ability to interpret complex case reports and the rapid acquisition of accurate medic…
Patient-Similarity Cohort Reasoning in Clinical Text-to-SQL
Yifei Shen, Yilun Zhao, Justice Ou +2
Real-world clinical text-to-SQL requires reasoning over heterogeneous EHR tables, temporal windows, and patient-similarity cohorts to produce executable queries. We introduce CLINS…
