Abstract
As scientific literature grows rapidly, automated survey generation has become a key capability for AI scientists and human researchers. However, existing systems suffer from limited analytical depth due to reliance on abstracts and isolated paper processing, and unreliable citations from imprecise retrieval and post-hoc grounding, producing superficial surveys and may mislead researchers. We present DeepSurvey, an agentic system that addresses both. To enhance depth, DeepSurvey extracts structured keynotes from full-text papers, models cross-paper relationships through clustering and comparative analysis, and integrates code-repository analysis to recover implementation-level details. To fortify reliability, it combines citation-graph expansion with hybrid filtering for topic-focussed retrieval, enforces evidence-constrained citation assignment, and deploys multi-granularity agentic refinement to validate citation-claim alignment. Experiments show that DeepSurvey achieves the highest content score (8.644/10) and citation quality (12.3% and 9.3% recall and precision gains over the strongest baseline), generalizes more robustly across domains (0.14 vs 0.22 to 0.69 CS-to-non-CS drop), and is preferred over human-written surveys by domain experts (83.3% overall quality, 100% content depth).
