Researchers affiliated with Tsinghua, Zhejiang and NVIDIA presented Humanize MLE Agents, a method that alternates two agents’ sessions on long machine-learning engineering tasks. Each session stops after a capped number of experiments; context resets between sessions while code, models and prior results remain in a shared workspace.

Across 75 Kaggle tasks in MLE-bench, the authors report a 78.2% any-medal rate and say the workflow surpassed the strongest open-source comparison with a smaller time budget. This is a result for a specific competition set and agent configurations; it does not guarantee the same gain across model versions or real engineering projects.

## Data

### Measure

75 Kaggle tasks; MLE-bench evaluation

Methodology: Values come from the paper's stated benchmark experiments; they are not field measurements or general performance guarantees.

| Measure | Reported value | Experimental scope |
|---|---|---|
| Any-medal rate on MLE-bench Kaggle tasks | 78.2 | 75 Kaggle tasks; MLE-bench evaluation |
