Arbor executes an Autonomous Optimization (AO) loop, allowing users to iteratively improve complex artifacts—such as models, agents, or data pipelines—against a measurable objective. It implements Hypothesis Tree Refinement (HTR), structuring research into a persistent tree to track hypotheses, insights, and evidence. This process is crucial for long-horizon optimization tasks (e.g., Kaggle-style benchmarking) and utilizes a held-out test set to prevent overfitting and ensure cumulative, auditable progress.
