Researchers have developed Curation-Bench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate the ability of generalist coding agents to automate the data curation process for AI model training. Initial tests show that agents can perform basic data selection within ten iterations, matching existing baselines. However, agents tend to make only minor adjustments rather than exploring fundamentally new data policy families. A scaffolded approach, requiring agents to cite and adapt prior research methods, led to the autonomous composition of a superior data selection policy that outperformed published baselines with significantly less data.
