Multi-agent large language model frameworks are promising for complex multi step reasoning, yet existing systems remain weak for scientific and knowledge intensive domains due to static prompts and agent roles, rigid workflows, and homogeneous model reliance, leading to poor domain adaptation, limited reasoning flexibility, and high latency on heterogeneous or long-horizon scientific tasks. They also struggle to revise earlier decisions when intermediate reasoning diverges, reducing reliability in structured and calculation heavy settings. To address these limitations, we propose a scientific domain oriented interactive two tier multi model orchestration framework. A dedicated orchestration model analyzes each task, dynamically constructs a domain aware reasoning pipeline, and instantiates specialized expert agents with tailored prompts, while an execution model performs each step under generated role and instruction specifications. The orchestrator iteratively updates the pipeline based on intermediate feedback, enabling dynamic replanning, role reallocation, and prompt refinement across multi turn interactions, strengthening robustness and specialization for scientific reasoning through structured heterogeneous model collaboration. The framework is model agnostic and supports heterogeneous LLM integration with different capacities or costs, enabling flexible performance efficiency trade offs in practical scientific deployments. Experiments show consistent improvements over existing multi agent systems and strong baselines across diverse reasoning and scientific style benchmarks.

Hierarchical topic modeling aims to discover latent topics from a corpus and organize them into a hierarchy to understand documents with desirable semantic granularity. However, existing work struggles with producing topic hierarchies of low affinity, rationality, and diversity, which hampers document understanding. To overcome these challenges, we in this paper propose Transport Plan and Context-aware Hierarchical Topic Model (TraCo). Instead of early simple topic dependencies, we propose a transport plan dependency method. It constrains dependencies to ensure their sparsity and balance, and also regularizes topic hierarchy building with them. This improves affinity and diversity of hierarchies. We further propose a context-aware disentangled decoder. Rather than previously entangled decoding, it distributes different semantic granularity to topics at different levels by disentangled decoding. This facilitates the rationality of hierarchies. Experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method surpasses state-of-the-art baselines, effectively improving the affinity, rationality, and diversity of hierarchical topic modeling with better performance on downstream tasks.
