Hybrid Reasoning Agents

Jiaru Zou, Yunzhe Qi, Sirui Chen +5

How can we build an agent that thinks beyond human language, yet still acts through it in the external environment? Modern LLM agents still reason and interact through text, while…

HarnessTTT: Learn to Optimize Harness at Test-Time for Scientific Discovery

Yingzi Ma, Yulong Cao, Nanxi Li +5

Scientific discovery with language models requires finding the best valid solution within a finite computational budget. We study how feedback from this search can improve the proc…

PlotGround: Grounding Plot Digitization in Real Scientific Figures and Their Source Data

Yaohui Zhang, Binxu Li, Haoyi Duan +7

Scientific figures often encode quantitative results that are not readily available in machine-readable form, making accurate plot digitization important for verifying and reusing…

PaperDoctor: Evidence-Grounded and Actionable Feedback for Scientific Papers in Progress

Kevin Qinghong Lin, Siyuan Hu, Pan Lu +14

Autoresearch agents are reshaping the research ecosystem, but they can also let flawed claims enter the literature at scale. Human advisors catch such issues in drafts through care…

AgentDebugX: An Open-Source Toolkit for Failure Observability, Attribution, and Recovery in LLM Agents

Kunlun Zhu, Xuyan Ye, Zhiguang Han +9

LLM agent failures are difficult to debug because the step where an error surfaces is often not the one that caused it. Existing observability tools replay execution traces but pro…

Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Stories

Kevin Qinghong Lin, Batu EI, Yuhong Shi +5

Data tells stories that shape society; the data journalist's job is to turn raw information into stories non-experts can trust. A high-quality news feature takes a newsroom team we…

Harnessing the Collective Intelligence of AI Agents in the Wild for New Discoveries

Federico Bianchi, Yongchan Kwon, Aneesh Pappu +1

Scientific discovery is often a collective process: researchers share partial results, inspect failed attempts, and build on each other's ideas over long time horizons. Recent AI s…

Recursive Multi-Agent Systems

Jiaru Zou, Rui Pan, Ruizhong Qiu +8

Recursive or looped language models have recently emerged as a new scaling axis by iteratively refining the same model computation over latent states to deepen reasoning. We extend…

iSight: Towards expert-AI co-assessment for improved immunohistochemistry staining interpretation

Jacob S. Leiby, Jialu Yao, Pan Lu +17

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) provides information on protein expression in tissue sections and is commonly used to support pathology diagnosis and disease triage. While AI models for…

Latent Collaboration in Multi-Agent Systems

Jiaru Zou, Ruizhong Qiu, Gaotang Li +10

Multi-agent systems (MAS) extend large language models (LLMs) from independent single-model reasoning to coordinative system-level intelligence. While existing LLM agents depend on…

In-the-Flow Agentic System Optimization for Effective Planning and Tool Use

Zhuofeng Li, Haoxiang Zhang, Seungju Han +6

Outcome-driven reinforcement learning has advanced reasoning in large language models (LLMs), but prevailing tool-augmented approaches train a single, monolithic policy that interl…

Learning Human-Perceived Fakeness in AI-Generated Videos via Multimodal LLMs

Xingyu Fu, Siyi Liu, Yinuo Xu +13

Can humans identify AI-generated (fake) videos and provide grounded reasons? While video generation models have advanced rapidly, a critical dimension -- whether humans can detect…

Where LLM Agents Fail and How They can Learn From Failures

Kunlun Zhu, Zijia Liu, Bingxuan Li +15

Large Language Model (LLM) agents, which integrate planning, memory, reflection, and tool-use modules, have shown promise in solving complex, multi-step tasks. Yet their sophistica…
