Agent-as-Peer-Debriefer: A Multi-Agent Framework with Perspective-Based Refinement for Qualitative Analysis

The paper introduces Agent-as-Peer-Debriefing, a multi‑agent framework that incorporates peer debriefing into qualitative data analysis with large language models. A Hierarchical Coding Agent generates codes and reflections, which are then refined by three Peer‑Debriefing Agents applying Theory‑Driven, Data‑Driven, or Applied perspectives. Experiments on three datasets show that perspective‑based refinement aligns more closely with human codes than a single‑LLM baseline, and that the choice of perspective offers meaningful trade‑offs.

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.

Beyond Factual QA: Mentorship-Oriented Question Answering over Long-Form Multilingual Content

The paper introduces MentorQA, a multilingual dataset and evaluation framework for mentorship-oriented question answering derived from long‑form videos. It contains nearly 9,000 QA pairs across four languages and defines evaluation dimensions such as clarity, alignment, and learning value that extend beyond factual accuracy. Experiments show that Multi‑Agent QA pipelines outperform other architectures, especially on complex topics and low‑resource languages, while automated LLM‑based evaluation shows variable alignment with human judgments.
