FlyAOC is a benchmark that tests AI agents on end‑to‑end ontology curation of Drosophila scientific literature. Given a gene symbol, a brief description, a large paper corpus, and ontology resources, agents must search for evidence and produce structured annotations such as function terms, expression patterns, and historical synonyms. The benchmark contains 7,397 expert‑curated annotations across 100 genes and evaluates different agent harnesses, revealing system‑level failure modes that single‑task evaluations miss.

arXiv:2607. 11276v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Ensuring the quality of educational materials requires more than standard proofreading: textbooks must be audited for factual accuracy, domain-specific technical correctness, and linguistic quality simultaneously -- a task that general-purpose grammar checkers cannot address.

arXiv:2607. 15715v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly used for complex information-extraction tasks, yet it remains unclear whether agentic components such as reflection and memory lead to observable and controllable improvements over fixed LLM workflows.

The paper investigates how large language models can extract contextualized data from scientific literature. It presents four workflows: expert‑written prompts, self‑generated prompts, autonomous literature discovery, and dataset creation from guidelines. While models perform well with prompts, they struggle with context, hallucinate references, and still need human oversight for final validation.

arXiv:2606. 01613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper presents an agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework for domain-specific technical reasoning support, instantiated over a curated corpus of approximately 2,100 academic papers in intelligent tires, vehicle dynamics, and vehicle control.

The paper evaluates browser-based large language models (LLMs) for extracting detailed, contextualized data from scientific papers. It presents four workflows: (1) expert-curated prompts yield good extraction but struggle with nuance; (2) LLMs can generate effective prompts from simple instructions; (3) autonomous literature discovery is challenging, with missing or hallucinated references; (4) LLMs can build new datasets from guidelines that align closely with human experts, yet still need human oversight. The study outlines a practical, auditable workflow where experts set standards, models cross-check extractions, and researchers resolve disputes, enabling scalable scientific data curation.
