EvoBrowseComp: Benchmarking Search Agents on Evolving Knowledge

- 用三智能体协作从实时网页生成中英文复杂问题对
- 400个中英文问题均无数据污染,需广泛横向搜索才能答对
- 支持自动更新,适合评估真实推理能力的先进搜索代理
搜索代理——由大语言模型与搜索工具增强的系统——亟需未来适用的评测基准。现有基准如BrowseComp依赖静态知识,易受测试集污染和参数记忆影响,导致模型仅靠事实回忆即可得分,掩盖了真正的检索与推理能力。本文提出EvoBrowseComp,一个包含400个英文和400个中文、无污染的复杂问题集合,通过实时网络遍历生成。我们设计了三智能体协同框架:(1)问答合成智能体从实时网络获取新知识生成问答对;(2)信息过滤智能体基于可信度与流行度筛选内容,阻断参数化捷径;(3)高层引导智能体将问题形式化为推理图,减少逻辑冗余与捷径。该框架支持全自动合成,使EvoBrowseComp可定期更新,防止数据污染并保持时效性。大量实验验证其高难度,要求广泛横向搜索。它建立了一种可扩展、自更新、高难度的评测范式,能同步跟踪不断演进的世界知识与智能体能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Search Agents -- large language models augmented with search tools -- have intensified the need for future-proof evaluation benchmarks. Existing benchmarks such as BrowseComp rely on static knowledge, making them vulnerable to test-set contamination and parametric memorization. Consequently, models can achieve high scores through fact recall rather than genuine retrieval, obscuring true browsing competence via reasoning shortcuts. In this paper, we introduce EvoBrowseComp, an evolving benchmark of 400 English and 400 Chinese contamination-free complex questions synthesized via live-web traversal. To collect these questions, we design a three-agent collaborative framework: (1) a QA synthesis agent that retrieves fresh knowledge from the live web to synthesize QA pairs; (2) an information filtering agent that filters retrieved knowledge in terms of credibility and popularity to block parametric shortcuts; and (3) a high-level guidance agent that formalizes questions into reasoning graphs to reduce logical redundancy and shortcuts in synthesized QA pairs. Because the framework supports fully automated synthesis, EvoBrowseComp can be regularly updated to prevent data contamination and maintain temporal freshness. Extensive experiments confirm its great difficulty, requiring broad horizontal search. It establishes a scalable paradigm for auto-updatable, high-difficulty benchmarking that keeps pace with both evolving world knowledge and advancing agent capabilities.
