Ontology-Guided Multi-Agent Extraction of Evaluation Objects from Academic Review Texts: Evidence from Chinese Library and Information Science

The paper introduces an ontology‑guided multi‑agent framework for extracting evaluation objects from academic review texts, addressing challenges such as abstractness, context‑dependency, and ambiguous type boundaries. The system combines candidate discovery, ontology‑constrained classification, and domain review, achieving high precision (90.33%) and recall (84.55%) and outperforming rule‑based and zero‑shot baselines. Ablation studies show that the multi‑agent workflow boosts recall and stability, while ontology‑based constraints improve fine‑grained classification and reduce category confusion.

FlyAOC: Evaluating Agentic Ontology Curation of Drosophila Scientific Knowledge Bases

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.

Automated Textbook Auditing with Multi-Agent LLM Systems

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.

An Agentic Framework Using Rules and LLMs for Embedding and Annotating Descriptive Document Layouts: A Plant Science Use Case

arXiv:2608. 14587v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Background: Recent advances in information retrieval (IR) leverage both dense and sparse representations, large language models (LLMs), and specialized retrieval models to improve ranking accuracy, relevance, and cross-lingual performance.

Behavioral Controllability of Agentic Models for Information Extraction: From Fixed Workflows to Reflective Agents

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.

Self-prompting and cross-model consensus enable reproducible data extraction from scientific literature with large language models

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.

Self-prompting and cross-model consensus enable reproducible data extraction from scientific literature with large language models

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.
