Deep Research Task

A Deep Research Task is a research task that is an automated research task that produces comprehensive research outputs (through multi-step investigation and evidence-based synthesis).

• AKA: Autonomous Research Task, AI-Driven Research Task, Comprehensive Research Investigation.
• Context:
  • Task Input: Research Query, Research Parameters
    • Optional Input: Domain Constraints, Source Preferences
  • Task Output: Deep Research Report, Citation List
  • Task Performance Measure: Research Accuracy, Source Quality, Completeness Score
  • ...
  • It can (typically) decompose Complex Questions through query analysis processes.
  • It can (typically) identify Information Gaps through knowledge assessments.
  • It can (typically) retrieve Relevant Information through search operations.
  • It can (typically) verify Information Accuracy through cross-reference checks.
  • It can (typically) synthesize Research Insights through analysis processes.
  • ...
  • It can (often) adapt Search Strategy through iterative refinements.
  • It can (often) evaluate Source Credibility through quality metrics.
  • It can (often) resolve Information Conflicts through verification processes.
  • It can (often) generate Visual Representations through data visualizations.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Deep Research Task to being a Complex Deep Research Task, depending on its research complexity.
  • It can range from being a Exploratory Deep Research Task to being a Targeted Deep Research Task, depending on its research focus.
  • It can range from being a Single-Source Deep Research Task to being a Multi-Source Deep Research Task, depending on its source diversity.
  • ...
  • It can require Research Planning for investigation strategy.
  • It can involve Information Gathering for data collection.
  • It can include Evidence Analysis for insight extraction.
  • It can demand Report Generation for output creation.
  • It can benefit from Quality Assurance for accuracy validation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Academic Deep Research Tasks, such as:
    • Literature Review Deep Research Task for academic synthesis.
    • Scientific Investigation Deep Research Task for hypothesis exploration.
    • Comparative Study Deep Research Task for cross-domain analysis.
  • Business Deep Research Tasks, such as:
    • Market Analysis Deep Research Task for competitive intelligence.
    • Investment Deep Research Task for financial assessment.
    • Risk Assessment Deep Research Task for threat evaluation.
  • Domain-Specific Deep Research Tasks, such as:
    • Medical Deep Research Task for clinical investigation.
    • Legal Deep Research Task for case law analysis.
    • Policy Deep Research Task for regulatory research.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Simple Query Task, which lacks research depth.
  • Data Retrieval Task, which lacks synthesis capability.
  • Single-Answer Task, which lacks comprehensive analysis.
