  1. BackTrend: Evaluating Scientific Weak-Signal Prediction via Backward Reconstruction

    Source note ·

    BackTrend is a retrospective benchmark that asks systems to recover early problem-space and solution-space precursors for mature AI/ML topics under temporal evidence constraints. It contains 25 mature topics and 66…

  2. Agentic Auto-Research is Fuzz Testing

    Source note ·

    The authors argue that current autonomous research agents, which generate experiments faster than researchers can validate them, lack the ability to efficiently handle sparse feedback. They propose a solution inspired…

  3. BrainPilot: Automating Brain Discovery with Agentic Research

    Source note ·

    BrainPilot is a multi-agent system designed to accelerate brain science research by integrating evidence from various scales, modalities, and disciplines. The system uses a principal investigator (PI) agent and…
