AI2Agent: An End-to-End Framework for Deploying AI Projects as Autonomous Agents

As AI technology advances, it is driving innovation across industries, increasing the demand for scalable AI project deployment. However, deployment remains a critical challenge due to complex environment configurations, dependency conflicts, cross-platform adaptation, and debugging difficulties, which hinder automation and adoption. This paper introduces AI2Agent, an end-to-end framework that automates AI project deployment through guideline-driven execution, self-adaptive debugging, and case \& solution accumulation. AI2Agent dynamically analyzes deployment challenges, learns from past cases, and iteratively refines its approach, significantly reducing human intervention. To evaluate its effectiveness, we conducted experiments on 30 AI deployment cases, covering TTS, text-to-image generation, image editing, and other AI applications. Results show that AI2Agent significantly reduces deployment time and improves success rates. The code and demo video are now publicly accessible.

An Effective Dynamic Gradient Calibration Method for Continual Learning

Continual learning (CL) is a fundamental topic in machine learning, where the goal is to train a model with continuously incoming data and tasks. Due to the memory limit, we cannot store all the historical data, and therefore confront the ``catastrophic forgetting'' problem, i.e., the performance on the previous tasks can substantially decrease because of the missing information in the latter period. Though a number of elegant methods have been proposed, the catastrophic forgetting phenomenon still cannot be well avoided in practice. In this paper, we study the problem from the gradient perspective, where our aim is to develop an effective algorithm to calibrate the gradient in each updating step of the model; namely, our goal is to guide the model to be updated in the right direction under the situation that a large amount of historical data are unavailable. Our idea is partly inspired by the seminal stochastic variance reduction methods (e.g., SVRG and SAGA) for reducing the variance of gradient estimation in stochastic gradient descent algorithms. Another benefit is that our approach can be used as a general tool, which is able to be incorporated with several existing popular CL methods to achieve better performance. We also conduct a set of experiments on several benchmark datasets to evaluate the performance in practice.

AI2Apps: A Visual IDE for Building LLM-based AI Agent Applications

We introduce AI2Apps, a Visual Integrated Development Environment (Visual IDE) with full-cycle capabilities that accelerates developers to build deployable LLM-based AI agent Applications. This Visual IDE prioritizes both the Integrity of its development tools and the Visuality of its components, ensuring a smooth and efficient building experience.On one hand, AI2Apps integrates a comprehensive development toolkit ranging from a prototyping canvas and AI-assisted code editor to agent debugger, management system, and deployment tools all within a web-based graphical user interface. On the other hand, AI2Apps visualizes reusable front-end and back-end code as intuitive drag-and-drop components. Furthermore, a plugin system named AI2Apps Extension (AAE) is designed for Extensibility, showcasing how a new plugin with 20 components enables web agent to mimic human-like browsing behavior. Our case study demonstrates substantial efficiency improvements, with AI2Apps reducing token consumption and API calls when debugging a specific sophisticated multimodal agent by approximately 90% and 80%, respectively. The AI2Apps, including an online demo, open-source code, and a screencast video, is now publicly accessible.

Coresets for Relational Data and The Applications

A coreset is a small set that can approximately preserve the structure of the original input data set. Therefore we can run our algorithm on a coreset so as to reduce the total computational complexity. Conventional coreset techniques assume that the input data set is available to process explicitly. However, this assumption may not hold in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we consider the problem of coresets construction over relational data. Namely, the data is decoupled into several relational tables, and it could be very expensive to directly materialize the data matrix by joining the tables. We propose a novel approach called ``aggregation tree with pseudo-cube'' that can build a coreset from bottom to up. Moreover, our approach can neatly circumvent several troublesome issues of relational learning problems [Khamis et al., PODS 2019]. Under some mild assumptions, we show that our coreset approach can be applied for the machine learning tasks, such as clustering, logistic regression and SVM.
