Small but Mighty: Test Suites as Improvement Signals for Self-Evolving Agents
Yutong Cheng, Wei Cheng, Wenchao Yu +2
A self-evolving agent rewrites its own harness and must decide which rewrites to keep, so its improvement signal is the check a rewrite has to pass. Verifying a rewrite by agent ro…
ForkPilot: Self-Evolving Policy for Retrospective Search in Long-Horizon Agents
Xinyue Zeng, Shivam Shandilya, Guilherme Potje +6
Interactive language-model agents increasingly solve complex tasks through long-horizon, multi-call reasoning, where errors in beliefs or actions can compound across tool interacti…
A Missing Piece for Trustworthy AI Reviewers: From Benchmarking Rhetorical Robustness to SciCore Review
Chenguang Wang, Ming Li, Chengrui Fan +4
AI reviewers can assign different judgments to manuscripts that report the same science in different wording, potentially rewarding rhetorical optimization over scientific improvem…
The Emerging AI Paper-Review Arms Race: Adversarial Co-Evolution in Scholarly Publishing
Chenguang Wang, Ming Li, Adebayo Braimah +6
Generative and agentic AI are reshaping both the production and evaluation of scientific research. These developments are often studied separately, as questions of how AI can produ…
How Can Rhetoric Reward-Hack AI Reviewers? Dissecting Rhetorical Sensitivity in AI-Based Peer Review
Ming Li, Chenguang Wang, Xirui Li +5
As large language models increasingly participate in scientific evaluation, we investigate a potential form of reward hacking: how rhetorical choices shape AI-review judgments when…
Think Again or Think Longer? Selective Verification for Budget-Aware Reasoning
Sajib Acharjee Dip, Dawei Zhou, Liqing Zhang
Test-time reasoning is increasingly used as a serving-time control knob, but extra reasoning is not uniformly valuable: it can repair failed attempts, waste compute on already-corr…
Cognitive Episodes in LLM Reasoning Traces Enable Interpretable Human Item Difficulty Prediction
Chenguang Wang, Ming Li, Xinyue Zeng +4
Predicting human item difficulty is central to educational assessment, where reliable estimates support fairness and effective test construction. Existing methods often depend on c…
LLMs Struggle to Measure What Distinguishes Students of Different Proficiency Levels: A Study of Item Discrimination in Reading Comprehension Assessment
Han Chen, Ming Li, Chenguang Wang +4
Existing work on LLM-based educational assessment has focused largely on item difficulty, but difficulty alone does not indicate whether an item meaningfully distinguishes higher-…
METASYMBO: Multi-Agent Language-Guided Metamaterial Discovery via Symbolic Latent Evolution
Jianpeng Chen, Wangzhi Zhan, Dongqi Fu +5
Metamaterial discovery seeks microstructured materials whose geometry induces targeted mechanical behavior. Existing inverse-design methods can efficiently generate candidates, but…
Navigating Ideation Space: Decomposed Conceptual Representations for Positioning Scientific Ideas
Yuexi Shen, Minqian Liu, Dawei Zhou +1
Scientific discovery requires new ideas to be situated within an ever-expanding landscape of existing knowledge. An emerging challenge is how to identify conceptually relevant prio…
