Project2Task: Graph-Guided Project-Level Planning for Autonomous Research

- 用图结构组织创新点,生成有明确归属的任务
- 在10个课题上平均得分7.15,显著高于基线
- 适合需要自动规划科研流程的研究团队
研究智能体已能从单一主题完成文献检索、假设提出、代码生成、实验运行和论文撰写。但科研项目不仅是更大任务:它是一个长期目标,需通过多个有边界、相关联、可并行且依赖清晰的任务推进。现有单任务系统常将项目当作超大任务处理,导致任务模糊、重复或需人工协调。本文提出Project2Task,一种基于图的项目级规划层。给定项目简述后,它将候选贡献视为创新原子,并构建有向传承图。通过轻量级伯努利块模型选择横向、纵向或混合型组合方案。随后生成有明确贡献归属的边界任务,修复重叠与缺失字段,并输出包含目标、输入、预期成果、评估要求、边界约束、依赖关系和执行顺序的依赖感知任务合约。这些合约独立于具体执行器,支持任务结果整合为连贯的项目成果。在包含10个项目简述、约30个任务的基准测试中,基于论文的组合评估显示,Project2Task平均质量得分为7.15,优于简述基线(4.58)和仅话题设置(5.31)。将其合约集成至AutoResearchClaw后,下游任务准确率从0.536提升至0.759。结果证明,显式项目到任务规划对生成连贯、无冗余、可执行的任务组合至关重要。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Research agents can increasingly search literature, propose hypotheses, generate code, run experiments, and draft manuscripts from a single topic. However, a research project is not merely a larger task: it is a long-horizon agenda that must be advanced through multiple bounded tasks with distinct but related objectives, parallel alternatives, and dependency-aware sequences. Existing single-task systems often treat the project as one oversized task, produce a flat set of vague or overlapping tasks, or leave task boundaries and execution order to manual coordination. We introduce Project2Task, a graph-guided project-level planning layer for autonomous research. Given a project brief, it represents candidate contributions as innovation atoms and organizes them in a directed lineage graph. A lightweight Bernoulli block-model objective selects among horizontal, vertical, and hybrid portfolio decompositions. Project2Task then generates bounded tasks with explicit contribution ownership, repairs overlaps and missing execution fields, and emits dependency-aware task contracts that specify objectives, inputs, expected artifacts, evaluation requirements, boundary constraints, dependencies, and execution order. The contracts are independent of any particular downstream research executor and support integration of task outputs into a coherent project-level result. On a benchmark of ten project briefs yielding roughly 30 tasks, manuscript-based portfolio evaluation gives Project2Task an average quality score of 7.15, compared with 4.58 for the Brief Baseline and 5.31 for the Topic-only Setting. Integrating its contracts with AutoResearchClaw increases average downstream task accuracy from 0.536 to 0.759. These results demonstrate the value of explicit project-to-task planning for producing coherent, non-redundant, and executable research-task portfolios.
