Heuresis: Search Strategies for Autonomous AI Research Agents Across Quality, Diversity and Novelty
Antonis Antoniades, Deepak Nathani, Ritam Saha +6
Autonomous AI Research promises to accelerate the scientific progress of machine learning. To realise this goal, current Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents need to go beyond j…
WorldMemArena: Evaluating Multimodal Agent Memory Through Action-World Interaction
Chengzhi Liu, Yuzhe Yang, Sophia Xiao Pu +14
Multimodal large language models are increasingly deployed as long-horizon agents, where memory must do more than recall: it must track an evolving world, revise what has gone stal…
Survive or Collapse: The Asymmetric Roles of Data Gating and Reward Grounding in Self-Play RL
Sophia Xiao Pu, Zhaotian Weng, Chengzhi Liu +4
Self-play reinforcement learning trains language models on their own generated tasks, co-evolving a proposer and solver without human labels. Recent systems report strong reasoning…
Length Value Model: Scalable Value Pretraining for Token-Level Length Modeling
Zhen Zhang, Changyi Yang, Zijie Xia +11
Tokens are the fundamental units of computation in modern autoregressive models, and generation length directly influences both inference cost and reasoning performance. Despite it…
Group-Evolving Agents: Open-Ended Self-Improvement via Experience Sharing
Zhaotian Weng, Antonis Antoniades, Deepak Nathani +3
Open-ended self-improving agents can autonomously modify their own structural designs to advance their capabilities and overcome the limits of pre-defined architectures, thus reduc…
What's Missing in Vision-Language Models? Probing Their Struggles with Causal Order Reasoning
Zhaotian Weng, Haoxuan Li, Xin Eric Wang +2
Despite the impressive performance of vision-language models (VLMs) on downstream tasks, their ability to understand and reason about causal relationships in visual inputs remains…
