Evaluation Paradigm for Academic DR Agents

ADRA-Bank: A Modular Benchmark for Academic Deep Research Agents

arXiv:2512.00986v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A surge in academic publications calls for automated deep research (DR) systems, but accurately evaluating them is still an open problem. First, existing benchmarks often focus narrowly on retrieval while neglecting high-level planning and reasoning. Second, existing benchmarks favor general domains over the academic domains that are the core application for DR agents.
