ReproRepo: Scaling Reproducibility Audits with GitHub Repository Issues
Shanda Li, Qiuhong Anna Wei, Jingwu Tang +5
Reproducing research results from papers and released code is central to scientific progress. Existing works have introduced benchmarks to evaluate whether LLM agents can assist wi…
Spend Less, Fit Better: Budget-Efficient Scaling Law Fitting via Active Experiment Selection
Sijie Li, Shanda Li, Haowei Lin +3
Scaling laws are used to plan multi-million-dollar training runs, but fitting those laws can itself cost millions. In modern large-scale workflows, assembling a sufficiently inform…
FrontierCO: Real-World and Large-Scale Evaluation of Machine Learning Solvers for Combinatorial Optimization
Shengyu Feng, Weiwei Sun, Shanda Li +2
Machine learning (ML) has shown promise for tackling combinatorial optimization (CO), but much of the reported progress relies on small-scale, synthetic benchmarks that fail to cap…
Learn Hard Problems During RL with Reference Guided Fine-tuning
Yangzhen Wu, Shanda Li, Zixin Wen +5
Reinforcement learning (RL) for mathematical reasoning can suffer from reward sparsity: for challenging problems, LLM fails to sample any correct trajectories, preventing RL from r…
CoMind: Towards Community-Driven Agents for Machine Learning Engineering
Sijie Li, Weiwei Sun, Shanda Li +2
Large language model (LLM) agents show promise in automating machine learning (ML) engineering. However, existing agents typically operate in isolation on a given research problem,…
CodePDE: An Inference Framework for LLM-driven PDE Solver Generation
Shanda Li, Tanya Marwah, Junhong Shen +4
Partial differential equations (PDEs) are fundamental to modeling physical systems, yet solving them remains a complex challenge. Traditional numerical solvers rely on expert knowl…
