Building AI Research Teams for Autonomous Discovery of Linear Attention Architectures

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

The paper proposes a framework for building autonomous AI research teams that can discover linear attention architectures. By assembling agents with diverse disciplinary expertise, private research histories, shared experimental evidence, and adaptive allocation of research opportunities, the team can balance exploration and exploitation under limited experimental budgets. Experiments show that this design outperforms GDN2 at 1.3B scale on language modeling, common‑sense reasoning, and retrieval tasks, and that removing any single component weakens discovery.

PrimeScientist: Strategic Allocation of Research Effort in Autonomous Research

PrimeScientist is a system that jointly selects research directions and allocates resources for autonomous research agents. It models the problem as a sequential decision task, using an executable plan tree to track competing plans and an adaptive MCTS-based policy to balance exploration and exploitation based on remaining resources and experimental feedback. Experiments on AI research, systems, code optimization, and machine learning engineering show that PrimeScientist improves average reward by 10.3% while reducing research attempts by 50.6% compared to AutoResearch under the same budget.
