AutoResearchClaw: Self-Reinforcing Autonomous Research with Human-AI Collaboration

Automating scientific discovery requires more than generating papers from ideas. Real research is iterative: hypotheses are challenged from multiple perspectives, experiments fail and inform the next attempt, and lessons accumulate across cycles. Existing autonomous research systems often model this process as a linear pipeline: they rely on single-agent reasoning, stop when execution fails, and do not carry experience across runs. We present AutoResearchClaw, a multi-agent autonomous research pipeline built on five mechanisms: structured multi-agent debate for hypothesis generation and result analysis, a self-healing executor with a \textsc{Pivot}/\textsc{Refine} decision loop that transforms failures into information, verifiable result reporting that prevents fabricated numbers and hallucinated citations, human-in-the-loop collaboration with seven intervention modes spanning full autonomy to step-by-step oversight, and cross-run evolution that converts past mistakes into future safeguards. On ARC-Bench, a 25-topic experiment-stage benchmark, AutoResearchClaw outperforms AI Scientist v2 by 54.7%. A human-in-the-loop ablation across seven intervention modes reveals that precise, targeted collaboration at high-leverage decision points consistently outperforms both full autonomy and exhaustive step-by-step oversight. We position AutoResearchClaw as a research amplifier that augments rather than replaces human scientific judgment. Code is available at https://github.com/aiming-lab/AutoResearchClaw.

ClawArena: Benchmarking AI Agents in Evolving Information Environments

AI agents deployed as persistent assistants must maintain correct beliefs as their information environment evolves. In practice, evidence is scattered across heterogeneous sources that often contradict one another, new information can invalidate earlier conclusions, and user preferences surface through corrections rather than explicit instructions. Existing benchmarks largely assume static, single-authority settings and do not evaluate whether agents can keep up with this complexity. We introduce ClawArena, a benchmark for evaluating AI agents in evolving information environments. Each scenario maintains a complete hidden ground truth while exposing the agent only to noisy, partial, and sometimes contradictory traces across multi-channel sessions, workspace files, and staged updates. Evaluation is organized around three coupled challenges: multi-source conflict reasoning, dynamic belief revision, and implicit personalization, whose interactions yield a 14-category question taxonomy. Two question formats, multi-choice (set-selection) and shell-based executable checks, test both reasoning and workspace grounding. ClawArena comprises 12 multi-turn scenarios spanning 337 evaluation rounds with 45 dynamic updates, evaluated across five agent frameworks and 18 language models from proprietary, community-accessible, and self-hosted sources. Experiments show that model capability accounts for a 29-point score range across models while framework design accounts for up to a 24-point range, that MetaClaw's skill overlay reliably improves score without degrading accuracy, and that belief revision difficulty is determined by update design strategy rather than update volume.

DASH: Dynamic Audio-Driven Semantic Chunking for Efficient Omnimodal Token Compression

Omnimodal large language models (OmniLLMs) jointly process audio and visual streams, but the resulting long multimodal token sequences make inference prohibitively expensive. Existing compression methods typically rely on fixed window partitioning and attention-based pruning, which overlook the piecewise semantic structure of audio-visual signals and become fragile under aggressive token reduction. We propose Dynamic Audio-driven Semantic cHunking (DASH), a training-free framework that aligns token compression with semantic structure. DASH treats audio embeddings as a semantic anchor and detects boundary candidates via cosine-similarity discontinuities, inducing dynamic, variable-length segments that approximate the underlying piecewise-coherent organization of the sequence. These boundaries are projected onto video tokens as a soft temporally co-registered segmentation prior. Within each segment, token retention is determined by a tri-signal importance estimator that fuses structural boundary cues, representational distinctiveness, and attention-based salience, mitigating the sparsity bias of attention-only selection. This structure-aware allocation preserves transition-critical tokens while reducing redundant regions. Extensive experiments on AVUT, VideoMME, and WorldSense demonstrate that DASH maintains competitive or superior accuracy while achieving higher compression ratios compared to prior methods.
