Atharva Naik's team introduced AdaPRA, a process-reward agent aimed at closing the gap between data science agents and top Kaggle humans, who currently win due to agents' subtle mistakes.

AdaPRA uses adaptive rubrics and writes code on the fly to audit a data science agent's output while it works, catching subtle errors mid-run rather than after. Details are in the author's thread.
