• Abstract: Computational notebooks became indispensable tools for research-related development, offering unprecedented interactivity and flexibility in the development process. However, these benefits come at the cost of reproducibility and an increased potential for bugs. With the rise of code-fluent Large Language Models empowered with agentic techniques, smart bug-fixing tools with a high level of autonomy have emerged. However, those tools are tuned for classical script programming and still struggle with non-linear computational notebooks. In this paper, we present an AI agent designed specifically for error resolution in a computational notebook. We have developed an agentic system capable of exploring a notebook environment by interacting with it -- similar to how a user would -- and integrated the system into the JetBrains service for collaborative data science called Datalore. We evaluate our approach against the pre-existing single-action solution by comparing costs and conducting a user study. Users rate the error resolution capabilities of the agentic system higher but experience difficulties with UI. We share the results of the study and consider them valuable for further improving user-agent collaboration.

  This study evaluated 4,892 patches from 10 top-ranked agents on 500 real-world GitHub issues. No single agent dominated, with 170 issues unresolved, indicating room for improvement. Most agents maintained code reliability and security, avoiding new bugs or vulnerabilities. Some agents increased code complexity, many reduced code duplication and minimized code smells.

  In many two-agent systems, each agent learns separately and the rewards of the two agents are not perfectly aligned. We model these systems as Stackelberg games with decentralized learning and show that standard regret benchmarks result in worst-case linear regret for at least one player. We develop algorithms to achieve near-optimal $O(T2/3)$ regret for both players with respect to these benchmarks.
