Guide to Loop Engineering: How ‘autoresearch’ and ‘Bilevel Autoresearch’ Turn AI Agents Into Autonomous Machine Learning ML Research Loops
AI agents can execute autonomous research loops that eliminate manual back-and-forth interaction by automatically iterating through investigation cycles. The approach uses frameworks called autoresearch and Bilevel Autoresearch, which are demonstrated in Andrej Karpathy's repository and an associated research paper.
