HarnessTTT: Learn to Optimize Harness at Test-Time for Scientific Discovery

Scientific discovery with language models requires finding the best valid solution within a finite computational budget. We study how feedback from this search can improve the procedure used to conduct it. We introduce HarnessTTT, a test-time learning framework that trains a harness proposer while keeping the executor...

We study LLMs'no-thinking behavior along two axes. a. How to measure no-thinking? Prior work typically defines no-thinking through proxies such as a disabled thinking mode...

PaperDoctor: Evidence-Grounded and Actionable Feedback for Scientific Papers in Progress

Autoresearch agents are reshaping the research ecosystem, but they can also let flawed claims enter the literature at scale. Human advisors catch such issues in drafts through careful, traceable feedback, yet advisor-style assessment requires extensive manual effort and does not scale. To shift automated paper assessme...
