Scores Alone Do Not Prove Discovery: The Discovery Certification Protocol for Auditing AI Research Agents

Jingjie Ning, Shanshan Zhong, Xiaochuan Li +1

AI research agents combine public information and experimental feedback to produce measurable results. The Discovery Certification Protocol (DCP) turns an outcome claim into an exe…

The Implementation Lottery: Auditing Idea Reliability in Automated Research

Jingjie Ning, Shanshan Zhong, Xiaochuan Li +2

Automated research agents use program scores to judge ideas. We call variation in this evidence across implementations the implementation lottery. We introduce an Idea Reliability…

Auto Research for Materials: Auditable AI-Scientist Workflows with Held-Out Transfer

Jingjie Ning, Xiaochuan Li, Shanshan Zhong +2

Auto Research uses language-model agents to propose, implement, and evaluate machine-learning changes in a closed loop, but is usually judged by its terminal pipeline. A terminal s…

Auto Research with Specialist Agents Develops Effective and Non-Trivial Training Recipes

Jingjie Ning, Xiaochuan Li, Ji Zeng +2

We study auto research as a closed empirical loop driven by external measurement. Each submitted trial carries a hypothesis, an executable code edit, an evaluator-owned outcome, an…

ProjDevBench: Benchmarking AI Coding Agents on End-to-End Project Development

Pengrui Lu, Shiqi Zhang, Yunzhong Hou +8

Recent coding agents can generate complete codebases from simple prompts, yet existing evaluations focus on issue-level bug fixing and lag behind end-to-end development. We introdu…

daVinci-Agency: Unlocking Long-Horizon Agency Data-Efficiently

Mohan Jiang, Dayuan Fu, Junhao Shi +8

While Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at short-term tasks, scaling them to long-horizon agentic workflows remains challenging. The core bottleneck lies in the scarcity of traini…
