Large Language Model (LLM)-based agents have excelled in various domains but face significant challenges when applied to data science workflows due to their complex, multi-stage nature. Current LLM-based agents struggle with non-linear relationships, recursive dependencies, implicit data- and logic-dependent reasoning, and managing extensive context. In this paper, we introduce Data Interpreter, an LLM-based agent that addresses these challenges through hierarchical graph-based modeling to represent the complexity and a progressive strategy for step-by-step verification, refinement, and consistent context management. Extensive experiments confirm the effectiveness of Data Interpreter. On InfiAgent-DABench, it boosts performance by 25% (from 75.9% to 94.9%), and on machine learning and open-ended tasks, it lifts accuracy from 88% to 95% and from 60% to 97%, respectively. Moreover, our method surpasses state-of-the-art baselines by 26% on the MATH dataset. We will release the code upon publication.

The recent rapid development of Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs) has indicated their potential for embodied tasks. However, the critical skill of spatial understanding in embodied environments has not been thoroughly evaluated, leaving the gap between current LVLMs and qualified embodied intelligence unknown. Therefore, we construct EmbSpatial-Bench, a benchmark for evaluating embodied spatial understanding of LVLMs. The benchmark is automatically derived from embodied scenes and covers 6 spatial relationships from an egocentric perspective. Experiments expose the insufficient capacity of current LVLMs (even GPT-4V). We further present EmbSpatial-SFT, an instruction-tuning dataset designed to improve LVLMs’ embodied spatial understanding.

Vision-and-Language navigation (VLN) requires an agent to navigate in unseen environment by following natural language instruction. For task completion, the agent needs to align and integrate various navigation modalities, including instruction, observation and navigation history. Existing works primarily concentrate on cross-modal attention at the fusion stage to achieve this objective. Nevertheless, modality features generated by disparate uni-encoders reside in their own spaces, leading to a decline in the quality of cross-modal fusion and decision. To address this problem, we propose a Dual-levEL AligNment (DELAN) framework by cross-modal contrastive learning. This framework is designed to align various navigation-related modalities before fusion, thereby enhancing cross-modal interaction and action decision-making. Specifically, we divide the pre-fusion alignment into dual levels: instruction-history level and landmark-observation level according to their semantic correlations. We also reconstruct a dual-level instruction for adaptation to the dual-level alignment. As the training signals for pre-fusion alignment are extremely limited, self-supervised contrastive learning strategies are employed to enforce the matching between different modalities. Our approach seamlessly integrates with the majority of existing models, resulting in improved navigation performance on various VLN benchmarks, including R2R, R4R, RxR and CVDN.
