Rethinking Domain Specialization for Open-Ended Scientific Reasoning in Astronomy Language Models
Vanessa Lama, Sanjay Das, Emily Herron +5
Domain-specialized language models are widely used for scientific question answering, but stronger general-purpose systems raise a sharper question: when does domain-specific fine-…
Predicting New Concept-Object Associations in Astronomy by Mining the Literature
Jinchu Li, Yuan-Sen Ting, Alberto Accomazzi +2
We construct a concept-object knowledge graph from the full astro-ph corpus through July 2025. Using an automated pipeline, we extract named astrophysical objects from OCR-processe…
AstroMLab 5: Structured Summaries and Concept Extraction for 400,000 Astrophysics Papers
Yuan-Sen Ting, Alberto Accomazzi, Tirthankar Ghosal +4
We present a dataset of 408,590 astrophysics papers from arXiv (astro-ph), spanning 1992 through July 2025. Each paper has been processed through a multi-stage pipeline to produce:…
Large Language Models Achieve Gold Medal Performance at the International Olympiad on Astronomy & Astrophysics (IOAA)
Lucas Carrit Delgado Pinheiro, Ziru Chen, Bruno Caixeta Piazza +4
While task-specific demonstrations show early success in applying large language models (LLMs) to automate some astronomical research tasks, they only provide incomplete views of a…
Teaching LLMs to Speak Spectroscopy
Nesar Ramachandra, Yuan-Sen Ting, Zechang Sun +2
Pre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized text processing, yet adapting Transformer-based neural networks to non-textual scientific modalities typically requires…
AstroMLab 4: Benchmark-Topping Performance in Astronomy Q&A with a 70B-Parameter Domain-Specialized Reasoning Model
Tijmen de Haan, Yuan-Sen Ting, Tirthankar Ghosal +7
General-purpose large language models (LLMs), despite their broad capabilities, often struggle with specialized domain knowledge. This gap hinders their deployment as reliable rese…
AstroMLab 3: Achieving GPT-4o Level Performance in Astronomy with a Specialized 8B-Parameter Large Language Model
Tijmen de Haan, Yuan-Sen Ting, Tirthankar Ghosal +6
AstroSage-Llama-3.1-8B is a domain-specialized natural-language AI assistant tailored for research in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, and astronomical instrumentation. Trained…
AstroMLab 2: AstroLLaMA-2-70B Model and Benchmarking Specialised LLMs for Astronomy
Rui Pan, Tuan Dung Nguyen, Hardik Arora +3
Continual pretraining of large language models on domain-specific data has been proposed to enhance performance on downstream tasks. In astronomy, the previous absence of astronomy…
pathfinder: A Semantic Framework for Literature Review and Knowledge Discovery in Astronomy
Kartheik G. Iyer, Mikaeel Yunus, Charles O'Neill +27
The exponential growth of astronomical literature poses significant challenges for researchers navigating and synthesizing general insights or even domain-specific knowledge. We pr…
Constructing Impactful Machine Learning Research for Astronomy: Best Practices for Researchers and Reviewers
D. Huppenkothen, M. Ntampaka, M. Ho +19
Machine learning has rapidly become a tool of choice for the astronomical community. It is being applied across a wide range of wavelengths and problems, from the classification of…
