Improving Attributed Long-form Question Answering with Intent Awareness

Xinran ZhaoAakanksha NaikJay DeYoungV. Kishore
2026
arXiv.org

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being used to generate comprehensive, knowledge-intensive reports. However, while these models are trained on diverse academic papers and reports, they… 

Cocoa: Co-Planning and Co-Execution with AI Agents

K. FengKevin PuMatt LatzkeJoseph Chee Chang
2026
Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

As AI agents take on increasingly long-running tasks involving sophisticated planning and execution, there is a corresponding need for novel interaction designs that enable deeper human-agent… 

Perspectra: Choosing Your Experts Enhances Critical Thinking in Multi-Agent Research Ideation

Yiren LiuViraj ShahSangho SuhYun Huang
2026
Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Early-stage interdisciplinary research ideation is often challenged by limited expert access, uncertainty about what to ask, and the cognitive burden of synthesizing unfamiliar domain perspectives.… 

Omakase: proactive assistance with actionable suggestions for evolving scientific research projects

Pao SiangliulueJonathan BraggDoug DowneyDaniel S. Weld
2026
arXiv

As AI agents become increasingly capable of complex knowledge tasks, the lack of context limits their capability to proactively reason about a user's latent needs throughout a long evolving project.… 

Deep Research, Shallow Evaluation: A Case Study in Meta-Evaluation for Long-Form QA Benchmarks

Jena D. HwangV. KishoreAmanpreet SinghSergey Feldman
2026
arXiv.org

Recent advances have made long-form report-generating systems widely available. This has prompted evaluation frameworks that use LLM-as-judge protocols and claim verification, along with… 

Understanding Usage and Engagement in AI-Powered Scientific Research Tools: The Asta Interaction Dataset

Dany HaddadDan BareketJ. ChangDoug Downey
2026

Can AI systems trained on the existing scientific record forecast the advances that will follow? We introduce PreScience, a dataset and benchmark for scientific forecasting built around 98K recent… 

Language Modeling by Language Models

Junyan ChengPeter ClarkKyle Richardson
2025
NeurIPS

Can we leverage LLMs to model the process of discovering novel language model (LM) architectures? Inspired by real research, we propose a multi-agent LLM approach that simulates the conventional… 

Open-ended Scientific Discovery via Bayesian Surprise

Dhruv AgarwalBodhisattwa Prasad MajumderReece AdamsonPeter Clark
2025
NeurIPS

The promise of autonomous scientific discovery (ASD) hinges not only on answering questions, but also on knowing which questions to ask. Most recent works in ASD explore the use of large language…
