Evaluating Memory Condensation Strategies for Coding Agents in Data-Driven Scientific Discovery

Coding agents accumulate extensive context during long-running tasks, yet fixed context windows force practitioners to choose between truncation and task failure. While numerous memory condensation strategies have been proposed, from simple sliding windows to LLM-generated summaries, no systematic comparison exists to guide strategy selection, especially in scientific discovery tasks. We evaluate eight memory condensation strategies using GPT-4o on sixty DiscoveryBench tasks spanning six scientific domains (480 total evaluations). We find that no condenser significantly alters hypothesis quality, while LLM-based condensers increase token costs by 24-94 percent, and masking tool-call outputs achieves an 8.6 percent net savings. We also observe that the optimal condenser for data-driven scientific discovery varies by scientific domain and task length.

SCICONVBENCH: Benchmarking LLMs on Multi-Turn Clarification for Task Formulation in Computational Science

Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as scientific AI as- sistants, and a growing body of benchmarks evaluates their capabilities across knowledge retrieval, reasoning, code generation, and tool use. These evaluations, however, typically assume the scientific problem is already well-posed, whereas practical scientific assistance often begins with an ill-posed user request that must be refined through dialogue before any computation, analysis, or experiment can be carried out reliably. We introduce SCICONVBENCH, a benchmark for multi- turn clarification in scientific task formulation across four computational science problem domains: fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, materials science, and par- tial differential equations (PDEs). SCICONVBENCH targets two complementary capabilities: eliciting missing information (disambiguation) and detecting and correcting erroneous requests containing internally contradictory information (in- consistency resolution). Our benchmark pairs a structured task ontology with a rubric-based evaluation framework, enabling systematic measurement of LLM per- formance across three dimensions: clarification behavior, conversational grounding, and final-specification fidelity. Current frontier models perform relatively well on inconsistency resolution, but even the best model resolves only 52.7% of the disambiguation cases in fluid mechanics. We further find that frontier LLMs fre- quently make silent assumptions and perform implicit specification repairs that are not grounded in the conversation with users. SCICONVBENCH establishes a foundation for evaluating the upstream conversational reasoning that a reliable computational science assistant requires. The code and data can be found at https://github.com/csml-rpi/SciConvBench.

EXPERT: Public Benchmarks for Dynamic Heterogeneous Academic Graphs

Machine learning models that learn from dynamic graphs face nontrivial challenges in learning and inference as both nodes and edges change over time. The existing large-scale graph benchmark datasets that are widely used by the community primarily focus on homogeneous node and edge attributes and are static. In this work, we present a variety of large scale, dynamic heterogeneous academic graphs to test the effectiveness of models developed for multi-step graph forecasting tasks. Our novel datasets cover both context and content information extracted from scientific publications across two communities: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Nuclear Nonproliferation (NN). In addition, we propose a systematic approach to improve the existing evaluation procedures used in the graph forecasting models.

Cascade-LSTM: Predicting Information Cascades using Deep Neural Networks

Predicting the flow of information in dynamic social environments is relevant to many areas of the contemporary society, from disseminating health care messages to meme tracking. While predicting the growth of information cascades has been successfully addressed in diverse social platforms, predicting the temporal and topological structure of information cascades has seen limited exploration. However, accurately predicting how many users will transmit the message of a particular user and at what time is paramount for designing practical intervention techniques. This paper leverages Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network techniques to predict two spatio-temporal properties of information cascades, namely the size and speed of individual-level information transmissions. We combine these prediction algorithms with probabilistic generation of cascade trees into a generative test model that is able to accurately generate cascade trees in two different platforms, Reddit and Github. Our approach leads to a classification accuracy of over 73% for information transmitters and 83% for early transmitters in a variety of social platforms.

Diversity, Topology, and the Risk of Node Re-identification in Labeled Social Graphs

Real network datasets provide significant benefits for understanding phenomena such as information diffusion or network evolution. Yet the privacy risks raised from sharing real graph datasets, even when stripped of user identity information, are significant. When nodes have associated attributes, the privacy risks increase. In this paper we quantitatively study the impact of binary node attributes on node privacy by employing machine-learning-based re-identification attacks and exploring the interplay between graph topology and attribute placement. Our experiments show that the population's diversity on the binary attribute consistently degrades anonymity.
