AutoResearchClaw: Self-Reinforcing Autonomous Research with Human-AI Collaboration

Jiaqi Liu, Shi Qiu, Mairui Li, Bingzhou Li, Haonian Ji

utoResearchClaw is a multi-agent autonomous research system that addresses the iterative nature of scientific discovery. Its core method involves structured multi-agent debate for hypothesis generation and analysis, coupled with a self-healing executor that learns from failures. The key contribution is a robust, collaborative framework that integrates human oversight and cross-run learning to enable more effective and resilient autonomous research.

Overview of the AutoResearchClaw pipeline. Given a research idea, the system progresses through three stages: Discovery (scoping, literature search, multi-agent debate for hypothesis generation), Experimentation (self-healing code execution, result analysis with a second debate panel, and Pivot / Refine decisions), and Writing (drafting, review, revision, four-layer citation verification). Optional human-in-the-loop gates (orange) allow oversight at key checkpoints. The cross-run evolution system (bottom) injects time-decayed lessons from prior runs into all phases.

PEEK: Context Map as an Orientation Cache for Long-Context LLM Agents

Zhuohan Gu, Qizheng Zhang et al.

PEEK addresses the challenge of LLM agents repeatedly interacting with large contexts by introducing a "context map" as an orientation cache. This map, a small prompt artifact, stores reusable knowledge about the context's content, organization, and useful ent…

ThoughtTrace: Understanding User Thoughts in Real-World LLM Interactions

Chuanyang Jin, Binze Li et al.

This paper introduces ThoughtTrace, the first large-scale dataset pairing real-world human-AI conversations with users' explicit thoughts. The core contribution is capturing users' underlying reasoning and reactions, which are semantically distinct from their …

A representative example from ThoughtTrace . A user interacts with a chatbot to complete daily tasks through multi-turn conversations (top), while annotating their latent thoughts during the conversations (bottom). Thoughts take two forms: reasons for sending user prompts and reactions to assistant responses, which can be categorized into several types (e.g., task motivation , style expectation ). Latent thoughts reveal users’ thought traces that drive the human-AI interactions in multi-turn conversations, providing valuable signals for user modeling and improving AI assistance.

Rethinking How to Remember: Beyond Atomic Facts in Lifelong LLM Agent Memory

Jingwei Sun, Jianing Zhu et al.

This paper proposes TriMem, a novel memory system for LLM agents that moves beyond atomic facts. Instead of relying solely on extracted facts, TriMem maintains three coexisting representation granularities: raw dialogue segments, extracted facts, and synthesiz…

Rewarding Beliefs, Not Actions: Consistency-Guided Credit Assignment for Long-Horizon Agents

Wenjie Tang, Minne Li et al.

This paper proposes ReBel, a reinforcement learning method for long-horizon tasks where agents learn from verifiable rewards. ReBel addresses challenges in partially observable environments by explicitly modeling and updating agent beliefs, using belief consis…

Overview of ReBel. ReBel learns belief-aware policies for partially observable long-horizon tasks by making latent belief explicit and decomposing policy generation into belief, think, and action. It turns sparse terminal rewards into step-wise belief consistency feedback and performs belief-anchor grouping to support stable step-level advantage estimation.

CopT: Contrastive On-Policy Thinking with Continuous Spaces for General and Agentic Reasoning

Dachuan Shi, Hanlin Zhu et al.

CopT reverses the traditional Chain-of-Thought by first generating a draft answer and then using "on-policy thinking" to reflect and correct it. This approach leverages continuous …
