DARE: Aligning LLM Agents with the R Statistical Ecosystem via Distribution-Aware Retrieval

Read the original on arXiv Computation and Language →

DARE introduces a distribution‑aware retrieval framework that enhances Large Language Model agents’ ability to select appropriate R functions for data science tasks. The system builds on a curated R function knowledge base (RPKB), a new retrieval method (DARE), an R‑oriented agent (RCodingAgent), and a benchmark (RStatBench). Experiments show significant gains in retrieval quality (up to 32.65 pp improvement in NDCG@10) and a near‑doubling of downstream analysis accuracy on RStatBench.

Re-ranking and Late Interaction Drive Retrieval Quality: A Controlled Comparison of RAG Strategies for Scientific Question Answering

The paper presents a controlled comparison of six retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) strategies for scientific question answering on a large arXiv corpus. All pipelines use the same LLM generator and evaluation protocol, differing only in retrieval design—ranging from classic dense retrieval to late‑interaction methods like ColBERTv2. The authors also release a synthetic question dataset and code to enable reproducible, large‑scale evaluation of RAG trade‑offs.

DataPrep-Bench: Benchmarking LLMs as Training Data Preparators

arXiv:2607. 20465v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The quality of training data fundamentally determines the capabilities of large language models (LLMs), yet no unified benchmark exists to measure how well LLMs, agents, and data-centric workflows actually prepare training data end to end.

DataSpace: Benchmarking Data Agents for Verifiable Analytics over Heterogeneous Workspaces

arXiv:2608. 03451v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data agents enable natural-language analytics over organizational workspaces, where relevant evidence may be scattered across databases, structured files, long documents, and multimedia.
