TraceML: An Empirical Analysis of Human-Agent Planning in Machine Learning Development

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 26086v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models write correct code for isolated problems but remain far weaker at autonomous machine-learning development, where an agent must revise data pipelines, models, and validation over hours of feedback, and on most competitions still finishes below strong human competitors.

Verifiable Hidden Dynamics Play: Generating Agentic RL Environments from Solved Mechanisms

The paper introduces VHD-Play, a pipeline that first samples and solves a mathematical model before generating agentic reinforcement learning environments, ensuring that dynamics and evaluation are aligned from the outset. This approach yields 3,300 diverse environments at a low cost and significantly improves the performance of a large language‑model agent (Qwen3.6‑35B‑A3B) across multiple diagnostic families and external benchmarks. The study demonstrates that stateful interaction is a key factor in learning gains and that scaling the training substrate can further enhance performance.

Fantastic Adaptive Taxonomies and How to Use Them

arXiv:2607. 16387v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An agent system's execution traces record how it fails, and procedures that improve such a system without changing model weights (trajectory selection, prompt and workflow optimization, runtime monitoring) read these traces for feedback.
