CuratorMAS: Automating Dataset Curation via Multi-Agent Orchestration

arXiv:2610.07075v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-quality datasets are essential for reliable machine learning, but dataset curation remains costly and hard to generalize across domains. Existing methods typically rely on manually designed heuristics or model-dependent signals, limiting their applicability across tasks and user queries. To address these limitations and automate data curation, we propose \textbf{CuratorMAS}, a multi-agent collaboration framework that orchestrates agents to evaluate and curate high-quality datasets. To achieve the goal of flexible curation, CuratorMAS decomposes the complex curation process into five programmable execution stages and forms a parallelizable workflow. Specifically, CuratorMAS first performs dataset exploration to collect contextual information such as file structures and constraint cues, thereby developing a comprehensive understanding of the given task. In order to acquire up-to-date information, CuratorMAS retrieves domain knowledge from online sources to augment the evaluation process. Next, CuratorMAS derives the necessary evaluation criteria and computes the corresponding metrics. Based on these results, CuratorMAS executes filtering accordingly. Finally, an evolution module summarizes the evaluation outcomes and updates the relevant skills. Extensive and comprehensive experiments demonstrate that CuratorMAS significantly reduces the noise rate by up to 36.03 percentage points (pp) while also improving the F1 score of downstream models by up to 8.88 pp.
