PaperClaw：自律的な研究と人間参加型洗練のためのエージェント活用

Large language models have become capable reasoners and tool users that write and run code and search the literature, which makes automating the research process itself a realistic goal. We present PAPERCLAW, a harnessed multi-agent system that carries a project autonomously, from a field of study to a finished paper. PAPERCLAW curates a domain from a field's live literature, datasets, and code; brainstorms it into an idea with a pre-registered main-result contract; and drives a stoppable hypothesis map through an iterative propose, test, reflect loop that grows only from measured verdicts and halts once the evidence supports the idea, at which point it writes a venue-compliant paper. A full-lifecycle memory keeps each stage in a single living record, so a long run can be paused, inspected, and resumed without losing context. At the centre is an in-cycle research assistant with research tools and skills: it can drive the whole pipeline on its own, while the same interface lets a person step in at any stage, turning a first autonomous draft into a stronger paper through human-in-the-loop refinement. Throughout, PAPERCLAW keeps its output grounded and checkable, citing only references validated against open scholarly indexes and reporting results that genuinely ran. An evaluation with an LLM judge finds that PAPERCLAW produces strong papers both fully autonomously and with human-in-the-loop refinement.
