arXiv:2604.01007v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI agents increasingly operate over extended time horizons, yet their ability to retain, organize, and recall multimodal experiences remains a critical bottleneck. Building effective lifelong memory requires navigating a vast design space spanning architecture, retrieval strategies, prompt engineering, and data pipelines; this space is too large and interconnected for manual exploration or traditional AutoML to explore effectively. We deploy an autonomous research pipeline to discover Omni-SimpleMem, a unified multimodal memory framework for lifelong AI agents. Starting from a na\"ive baseline (F1=0.117 on LoCoMo), the pipeline autonomously executes ${\sim}50$ experiments across two benchmarks, diagnosing failure modes, proposing architectural modifications, and repairing data pipeline bugs, all without human intervention in the inner loop. The resulting system achieves state-of-the-art on both benchmarks, improving F1 by +411% on LoCoMo (0.117$\to$0.598) and +214% on Mem-Gallery (0.254$\to$0.797) relative to the initial configurations. Critically, the most impactful discoveries are not hyperparameter adjustments: bug fixes (+175%), architectural changes (+44%), and prompt engineering (+188% on specific categories) each individually exceed the cumulative contribution of all hyperparameter tuning, demonstrating capabilities fundamentally beyond the reach of traditional AutoML. We provide a taxonomy of six discovery types and identify four properties that make multimodal memory particularly suited for autoresearch, offering guidance for applying autonomous research pipelines to other AI system domains.

arXiv:2603.07980v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As language models (LMs) evolve from chat assistants to long-horizon agents capable of multi-step reasoning and tool use, existing benchmarks remain largely confined to structured or exam-style tasks that fall short of real-world professional demands. To this end, we introduce \$OneMillion-Bench \$OneMillion-Bench, a benchmark of 400 expert-curated tasks spanning Law, Finance, Industry, Healthcare, and Natural Science, built to evaluate agents across economically consequential scenarios. Unlike prior work, the benchmark requires retrieving authoritative sources, resolving conflicting evidence, applying domain-specific rules, and making constraint decisions, where correctness depends as much on the reasoning process as the final answer. We adopt a rubric-based evaluation protocol scoring factual accuracy, logical coherence, practical feasibility, and professional compliance, focused on expert-level problems to ensure meaningful differentiation across agents. Together, \$OneMillion-Bench provides a unified testbed for assessing agentic reliability, professional depth, and practical readiness in domain-intensive scenarios.

arXiv:2603.04158v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Garment manipulation has attracted increasing attention due to its critical role in home-assistant robotics. However, the majority of existing garment manipulation works assume an initial state consisting of only one garment, while piled garments are far more common in real-world settings. To bridge this gap, we propose a novel garment retrieval pipeline that can not only follow language instruction to execute safe and clean retrieval but also guarantee exactly one garment is retrieved per attempt, establishing a robust foundation for the execution of downstream tasks (e.g., folding, hanging, wearing). Our pipeline seamlessly integrates vision-language reasoning with visual affordance perception, fully leveraging the high-level reasoning and planning capabilities of VLMs alongside the generalization power of visual affordance for low-level actions. To enhance the VLM's comprehensive awareness of each garment's state within a garment pile, we employ visual segmentation model (SAM2) to execute object segmentation on the garment pile for aiding VLM-based reasoning with sufficient visual cues. A mask fine-tuning mechanism is further integrated to address scenarios where the initial segmentation results are suboptimal. In addition, a dual-arm cooperation framework is deployed to address cases involving large or long garments, as well as excessive garment sagging caused by incorrect grasping point determination, both of which are strenuous for a single arm to handle. The effectiveness of our pipeline are consistently demonstrated across diverse tasks and varying scenarios in both real-world and simulation environments.

arXiv:2506.08672v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rule-based reasoning is acknowledged as one of the fundamental problems of reasoning. While recent studies show that large reasoning models (LRMs) have remarkable reasoning capabilities enhanced by reinforcement learning (RL), real applications still face severe challenges due to variations in rule formats, types, and complexity. To mitigate this issue, we introduce RuleReasoner, an effective method for rule-based reasoning via a wide collection of curated tasks and a novel domain-aware dynamic sampling approach in RL. Specifically, RuleReasoner resamples each training batch by updating the domain weights based on historical rewards. This facilitates domain balance and active learning schedules for RL, obviating static mix-training engineered by human. Evaluations on in-distribution (ID) and out-of-distribution (OOD) benchmarks reveal that RuleReasoner outperforms frontier LRMs by a significant margin ($\Delta$4.1% on eight ID tasks and $\Delta$10.4% on three OOD tasks over OpenAI-o1). Notably, our approach also exhibits higher computational efficiency compared to prior methods.
