Benchmarking Hybrid Deep Research Across Database Querying and Web Search
Ruofan Wu, Peiran Xu, Xiaolong Li +9
While autonomous agents have made significant strides in "deep research" by iteratively navigating the open web to synthesize information, real-world problem-solving is rarely conf…
ArcticSwarm: Deferring Early Consensus in Long-Horizon Multi-Agent Research
Soyoung Yoon, Boyi Liu, Yite Wang +6
Multi-agent systems have shown strong performance in domains with reliable verifiers such as coding, where multi-parallel candidate generation selected by a verifier is effective.…
The Optimizer Is the Agent: Reasoning-Driven Search across Prompts, Programs, and ML Workflows
Junbo Li, Boyi Liu, Canwen Xu +5
Recent systems for optimizing prompts, programs, and ML workflows typically rely on explicit outer-loop controllers such as evolutionary search, bandits, or textual-gradient method…
MidTool: Mid-training Data Synthesis for Agentic Tool Use
Fengqing Jiang, Yite Wang, Boyi Liu +5
Mid-training is increasingly recognized as a critical stage for shaping the capabilities of large language models. Recent work has shown that targeted mid-training can strengthen r…
Organize then Retrieve: Hierarchical Memory Navigation for Efficient Agents
Hao-Lun Hsu, Nikki Lijing Kuang, Boyi Liu +2
Large language model (LLM) agents struggle with long-horizon tasks due to their inherent statelessness, requiring all task-relevant information to be encoded in growing input conte…
Agent World Model: Infinity Synthetic Environments for Agentic Reinforcement Learning
Zhaoyang Wang, Canwen Xu, Boyi Liu +5
Recent advances in large language model (LLM) have empowered autonomous agents to perform multi-turn interactions with tools and environments. However, scaling such agent training…
