About this paper

Zherui Yang, Fan Liu, Hao Liu

DSWorld introduces a data science world model that simulates environment transitions for autonomous data science agents, enabling them to predict operation outcomes without costly real-world execution. This approach results in approximately 14x faster reinforcement learning training and 3-6x acceleration in inference, while maintaining competitive agent performance.

Key insights

  • A hybrid execution-simulation mechanism effectively balances prediction accuracy and computational efficiency for autonomous data science agents.
  • Large-scale, high-quality data science transition trajectories, including synthetic data with Chain-of-Thought reasoning, are crucial for training robust world models.
  • Error-aware reinforcement learning, such as Reflective World Model Optimization, iteratively refines transition predictions, leading to improved accuracy and reliability.
