I am absolutely opposed to a national ID card. This is a total contradiction of what a free society is all about. The purpose of government is to protect the secrecy and the privacy of all individuals, not the secrecy of government. We don't need a national ID card. — Ron Paul 34 items · 3 sections

AutoSci: A Memory-Centric Agentic System for the Full Scientific Research Lifecycle

Weitong Qian, Beicheng Xu, Zhongao Xie, Bowen Fan, Guozheng Tang

utoSci is a memory-centric agentic system designed to automate the entire scientific research lifecycle. Its core method involves a structured memory system (SciMem) that separates long-term scientific knowledge from project-specific artifacts, enabling agents to efficiently access and manage information. AutoSci's contribution lies in providing a unified platform that supports all stages of research, from idea generation to manuscript submission and review, while also facilitating continuous improvement of its own research processes.

Learning to Adapt: Self-Improving Web Agent via Cognitive-Aware Exploration

Weile Chen, Bingchen Miao et al.

This paper introduces SCALE, a self-improving web agent that uses adversarial roles (Selector, Predictor, Judger) to autonomously identify and overcome its limitations through exploration. It also proposes SCALE-Hop for better global planning to avoid explorat…

LinTree: Improving LLM Reasoning with Explicitly Structured Search Histories

Liwei Kang, Yee Whye Teh et al.

This paper introduces LinTree, a method to improve LLM reasoning by explicitly structuring their search histories. The core idea is to represent LLM's intermediate reasoning steps as linearized search trees, allowing the model to condition on the entire search…
