Mind2Report: Expert-Level Commercial Report Synthesis via Cognitive Deep Research Agent

Mind2Report is a cognitive deep research agent designed to produce expert-level commercial reports from large, noisy web sources. It first clarifies detailed commercial intent to build a structured outline, then recursively gathers and validates evidence into a research memory that evolves with the outline, enabling iterative synthesis of comprehensive reports. The authors also introduce QRC‑Eval, a benchmark of 200 real-world commercial tasks, and show through extensive experiments that Mind2Report outperforms existing proprietary and open-source deep research agents, with ablation studies confirming the contribution of each component.

DataSTORM: Deep Research on Large-Scale Databases using Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Storytelling

DataSTORM is an LLM‑based agentic system designed to conduct deep research over large‑scale structured databases and internet sources. It applies principles of Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Storytelling to frame research as a thesis‑driven analytical process, iteratively generating hypotheses, performing quantitative reasoning, and crafting coherent narratives. Evaluations on InsightBench and a new ACLED‑based dataset show that DataSTORM surpasses existing systems, achieving significant improvements in insight‑level recall and summary‑level scores.

Not Worth Another Token: Marginal Value Estimation for Efficient Deep Research Agents

arXiv:2608. 08389v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-horizon research agents solve open-ended tasks through iterative retrieval, aggregation, and synthesis, but context grows rapidly while the marginal value of additional evidence often declines.

AutoResearch: Insight In, Hallucination Out

AutoResearch is a two‑stage autonomous research system that links Idea Generation with Idea Execution. In the generation phase it blends new research signals with existing domain knowledge, identifies transferable mechanistic insights, and produces grounded, testable research plans through multi‑model generation and cross‑review. The execution phase then decomposes these plans into experiments, iteratively implements and diagnoses them, and uses independent evidence‑based review to accept or revise conclusions, thereby turning ideas into measurable progress while minimizing hallucinations.
