Self-Evolving AI 综述论文

这篇 working survey 试图回答一个问题:AI Agent 的“自我改进”什么时候只是反复尝试,什么时候已经形成可验证、可保留、可回滚的系统过程?当前版本连接 196 篇论文展示集、686 个 GitHub 原始捕获、300 份项目/模型卡分析和 97 个公开痛点信号;这些数字说明证据来源,不等同于完成度或排名。

论文现在直接使用 Survey Figure Atlas。

这里不再只放旧的站点装饰图;每张图都对应一个 paper chapter 和一个公开 evidence boundary。

Category-theme heatmap: GitHub 项目不是按自带 category 可读,必须交叉看 theme 与 mechanism 才能找出真实自进化信号。

Cross-source gap: 论文分数、开源实现、用户痛点和传播热度之间存在缺口,benchmark 不能独自代表系统价值。

Framework radar: 框架要同时看 adoption、observability、production、evolution fit 和 governance,不是 star 越多越适合自进化。

案例选择回到论文证据和评估协议,不看累计 Star。

Research Visibility vs Adoption Signal

自进化研究前沿(ADAS、DGM、Absolute Zero、Reflexion 等)不一定会同步反映在 GitHub Star 数中。这里的读者提示很简单:Star 只能作为 adoption prior,不能替代论文证据、可运行实现、评估协议和失败记录。

Research MethodPaper SignalGitHub SignalReader Interpretation
Architecture Search (ADAS)ICML 2024repository dependentCheck method evidence before adoption signal.
Godel Machine (DGM)arXiv 2025repository dependentInspect retained changes, evaluator, and rollback evidence.
Self-Play Reward (Absolute Zero)arXiv 2025repository dependentDo not infer maturity from stars alone.
Reflection (Reflexion)NeurIPS 2023paper/code ecosystemSeparate research influence from production readiness.
Corpus Status

基础语料状态,不写成百分比覆盖率

DatasetCount / SnapshotBasisLimit
Survey-display papers 196 196-paper display snapshot used for the current figure atlas. Automatic keyword grouping; not a final systematic-review denominator.
Paper review files 2 Public paper report files exported under site/public/reports/papers. Coverage is file-count based; individual claims still need source-level audit.
GitHub raw captures 686 300 project/model-card analyses and 491 public project reports are currently surfaced. Raw capture count is not project quality, maturity, or research value.
Public pain-point signals 97 Semantic analysis of Reddit, Hacker News, and X/Twitter public discussions. These are public discussion signals, not formal interviews or survey respondents.
Site corpus snapshot 2026-06-05 Counts generated by the public corpus/index pipeline. Use this as a dated snapshot; hourly metadata may update downstream pages.

Mom Test 97 痛点来源:Reddit 47、Hacker News 36、X/Twitter 14。它们是公开讨论信号,不是受控访谈样本。

Version Status

读者应该如何引用当前版本

可作为 working draft 引用:定义框架、五类进化回路、主要证据边界和当前公开 PDF;引用时必须标注版本日期与 provisional status。

谨慎引用:方法族比例、框架 1-5 分、项目覆盖数字和痛点统计,它们仍是 dated snapshot。

不要引用为最终结论:Evolve-AGI worksheet、Star/Rank 页面、framework radar 和 corpus count。

引用数字时必须带日期:当前公开语料快照为 2026-06-05,部分站点元数据会继续更新。

需要继续补强:逐项 citation mapping、benchmark source audit、中文长稿同步和英文网页镜像的图表逐项说明。
