A new research paper explores the effectiveness of agentic harnesses in generating taxonomies from customer feedback. While these harnesses can produce plausible-looking hierarchies that pass standard checks, the study found that the generated taxonomies often lack practical utility. Specifically, leaf names frequently restated ancestor names, and records were sometimes categorized under multiple top-level branches, indicating a failure to partition feedback into distinct, manageable groups for teams. The research proposes new metrics to evaluate the entire tree structure and its ability to partition data, suggesting that surface-level plausibility is insufficient for assessing taxonomy quality.
