DI-Bench is a pipeline that automatically creates realistic data intelligence benchmarks for enterprise agents by linking data tables, dimensions, metrics, and documents into an artifact graph. It generates questions that combine structured data queries with knowledge retrieval, validates answers via query execution and LLM-generated questions, and has produced a 731-task benchmark covering knowledge retrieval, analytical computation, and rule‑grounded reasoning. Evaluation of four models on this benchmark shows that only 32% accuracy is achieved on computational tasks that involve business rules modifying the computation.

Deep Research Bench II is a new benchmark designed to evaluate Deep Research Agents (DRAs) by requiring them to produce research reports for 132 grounded tasks across 22 domains. Each report is assessed using 9,430 fine‑grained binary rubrics that cover information recall, analysis, and presentation, all derived from expert‑written investigative articles through a rigorous LLM‑plus‑human pipeline. Evaluation of current state‑of‑the‑art DRAs shows that even the best models satisfy fewer than 50% of these rubrics, highlighting a significant gap between automated agents and human experts.

arXiv:2608. 07700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Translating a natural-language question into a SPARQL query that can be executed against a large knowledge graph requires resolving lexical ambiguity, grounding surface terms in the target ontology, and producing graph patterns that are both syntactically valid and semantically faithful.

arXiv:2606. 10460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) have shown rapid progress in reading-based question answering (QA), where evidence is explicitly provided or can be trivially retrieved.

arXiv:2607. 29677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata.

The paper introduces DASE, a query engine designed to efficiently link unstructured data for multi-step reasoning tasks. DASE combines a multi-step reasoning model, a sparse materialized embedding-similarity join index (SemJI), and a co‑designed execution layer to perform multi‑attribute filtering, multi‑vector search, exact relational joins, and thresholded embedding‑similarity joins. In scientific discovery workloads, DASE outperforms traditional RDBMS, rerank, and vector‑database baselines by 6x to 46x in retrieval speed while maintaining comparable recall, and it serves as a high‑recall prefilter that reduces downstream LLM evaluation cost and improves accuracy on benchmarks such as SemBench E‑Commerce.

The paper introduces Iris-mini and Iris-pro, two search agents trained at 35B and 397B parameter scales. They use a novel data pipeline that constructs reverse‑engineered multi‑hop queries from web hyperlinks, filters trajectories, and alternates supervised fine‑tuning with reinforcement learning in a process called SFT‑RL climbing. Evaluations on several benchmarks show that, with inference‑time context management, the agents achieve the best open‑source results in their parameter ranges.
