Holistic Agent Leaderboard: The Missing Infrastructure for AI Agent Evaluation

ICLR 2026poster

AI agents have been developed for complex real-world tasks from coding to customer service. But AI agent evaluations suffer from many challenges that undermine our understanding of how well agents really work (Figure 1). We introduce the Holistic Agent Leaderboard (HAL) to address these challenges.…

AutoSDT: Scaling Data-Driven Discovery Tasks Toward Open Co-Scientists

EMNLP 2025

Despite long-standing efforts in accelerating scientific discovery with AI, building AI co-scientists remains challenging due to limited high-quality data for training and evaluation. To tackle this data scarcity issue, we present AutoSDT, an automatic pipeline that collects high-quality coding task

ScienceAgentBench: Toward Rigorous Assessment of Language Agents for Data-Driven Scientific Discovery

ICLR 2025poster

The advancements of language language models (LLMs) have piqued growing interest in developing LLM-based language agents to automate scientific discovery end-to-end, which has sparked both excitement and skepticism about the true capabilities of such agents. In this work, we argue that for an agent…

Tooling or Not Tooling? The Impact of Tools on Language Agents for Chemistry Problem Solving

NAACL 2025findings

To enhance large language models (LLMs) for chemistry problem solving, several LLM-based agents augmented with tools have been proposed, such as ChemCrow and Coscientist. However, their evaluations are narrow in scope, leaving a large gap in understanding the benefits of tools across diverse chemist…

When is Tree Search Useful for LLM Planning? It Depends on the Discriminator

ACL 2024long

In this paper, we examine how large language models (LLMs) solve multi-step problems under a language agent framework with three components: a generator, a discriminator, and a planning method. We investigate the practical utility of two advanced planning methods, iterative correction and tree searc…

eCeLLM: Generalizing Large Language Models for E-commerce from Large-scale, High-quality Instruction Data

ICML 2024poster

With tremendous efforts on developing effective e-commerce models, conventional e-commerce models show limited success in generalist e-commerce modeling, and suffer from unsatisfactory performance on new users and new products – a typical out-of-domain generalization challenge. Meanwhile, large lang…

Automatic Evaluation of Attribution by Large Language Models

EMNLP 2023long findings

A recent focus of large language model (LLM) development, as exemplified by generative search engines, is to incorporate external references to generate and support its claims. However, evaluating the attribution, i.e., verifying whether the generated statement is fully supported by the cited refere…

Exploring Chain of Thought Style Prompting for Text-to-SQL

EMNLP 2023long main

In-context learning with large language models (LLMs) has recently caught increasing attention due to its superior few-shot performance on various tasks. However, its performance on text-to-SQL parsing still has much room for improvement. In this paper, we hypothesize that a crucial aspect of LLMs t…

Text-to-SQL Error Correction with Language Models of Code

ACL 2023short

Despite recent progress in text-to-SQL parsing, current semantic parsers are still not accurate enough for practical use. In this paper, we investigate how to build automatic text-to-SQL error correction models. Noticing that token-level edits are out of context and sometimes ambiguous, we propose b…
