FML-bench: A Benchmark for Automatic ML Research Agents Highlighting theImportance of Exploration Breadth

Can Robots Explore Science Like Humans? Meet the New FML‑bench Test

Imagine a curious robot that can dream up ideas, run experiments, and learn from the results—just like a scientist in a lab.
FML‑bench is a fresh playground designed to see how well these automatic machine‑learning research agents can do that.
Instead of testing only coding tricks, the benchmark throws eight different, fundamental research puzzles at the agents, from spotting patterns to inventing new algorithms.
Think of it like a cooking show where chefs must create dishes from mystery ingredients, not just follow a recipe.
The results are clear: agents that wander widely across many ideas (exploration breadth) end up finding better solutions than those that dig deep into a single path.
This tells us that, in both machines and humans, a broad curiosity can spark bigger breakthroughs.
As we keep sharpening these digital explorers, we move closer to a future where scientific discovery speeds up, helping us solve real‑world problems faster than ever before.
