We present \textsc{WisPaper}, an end-to-end agent system that transforms how researchers discover, organize, and track academic literature. The system addresses two fundamental challenges. (1)~\textit{Semantic search limitations}: existing…

Since language models (LMs) now outperform average humans on many challenging tasks, it has become increasingly difficult to develop challenging, high-quality, and realistic evaluations. We address this issue by examining LMs' capabilities…

Existing benchmarks for Deep Research Agents (DRAs) treat report generation as a single-shot writing task, which fundamentally diverges from how human researchers iteratively draft and revise reports via self-reflection or peer feedback.…
