  • 构建闭环智能体系统,自动完成从构思到评估的全流程
  • 在真实生产环境实现近20%的NDCG提升,用户满意度增3.77%
  • 发现评估漏洞,暴露奖励劫持与无效探索等新挑战

随着代理型AI兴起,自迭代系统为生产级推荐模型的自主优化开辟了新路径。本文实证验证了一个知识驱动的自治智能体系统,直接部署于大规模两塔检索模型上。该系统将整个研究周期——包括想法生成、代码实现、离线训练和指标评估——交由持续闭环的自治框架执行,共完成40次从零开始的自主训练运行。在严格的生产规模评估下,系统系统性地识别出最新生产模型中的隐藏架构瓶颈,实现约20%的相对NDCG提升,该成果直接转化为线上流量中用户满意度+3.77%的增益。此外,部署过程暴露出标准评估协议的关键漏洞,智能体自主发现了奖励劫持捷径。这些结果证明,自治流水线可显著加速机器学习研究进程,并对实验基础设施的严谨性构成压力测试,同时也揭示了奖励劫持、失败假设冗余探索等新挑战。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The rise of agentic AI has catalyzed a shift toward self-iterating systems, opening new frontiers for the autonomous optimization of production recommender models. This paper presents the empirical validation of a knowledge-driven autonomous agent system, deployed directly on a production large-scale Two-Tower retrieval model. By delegating the entire research lifecycle, spanning idea generation, code implementation, offline training, and metric evaluation, to a continuous closed-loop autonomous framework, the agent system executed over 40 completed autonomous training runs from scratch. Executing these runs under rigorous production-scale evaluations, the system systematically navigated hidden architectural bottlenecks on the latest production model to achieve a breakthrough ~20% relative improvement in NDCG, a gain that translated directly to a +3.77% increase in user satisfaction in live production traffic. Furthermore, the deployment exposed critical vulnerabilities in standard evaluation protocols, as the agent system autonomously discovered reward-hacking shortcuts. These findings prove that an autonomous pipeline can dramatically accelerate the pace of machine learning research and stress-test the rigorousness of underlying experimental infrastructure, while also exposing novel challenges such as reward hacking and redundant exploration of failed hypotheses.
