SwarmWorld: Stigmergic technological evolution in societies of language-model agents

Subhadeep Pal, Fiona Y. Wang, Markus J. Buehler

Collective intelligence can emerge when individuals coordinate through a shared environment, allowing local actions to accumulate into durable social organization. Language-model a…

Visualizing Graph-to-Answer Mechanism Recovery in Materials-Science Hypothesis Generation

Shashwat Sourav, Subhadeep Pal, Markus J. Buehler +4

AI co-scientists can generate fluent materials-science hypotheses, but fluency does not show that an answer preserves a scientifically meaningful mechanism. We present a graph-to-a…

Reading and Steering Representations of Materials-Science Mechanisms in an Open-Weight Language Model

Markus J. Buehler

Large language models can answer scientific questions, yet a correct output does not reveal whether the model represents or uses the governing physics. Here, using three open-weigh…

Graph-Native Reinforcement Learning Enables Traceable Scientific Hypothesis Generation through Conceptual Recombination

Subhadeep Pal, Shashwat Sourav, Tirthankar Ghosal +1

Accelerating materials discovery requires AI systems that can generate scientifically valid hypotheses through multi-step, domain-grounded reasoning. Standard large language models…

ProjectionBench: Evaluating Scientific Hypothesis Generation in LLMs Under Progressive Information Disclosure

A. J. Lew, Y. Cao, M. J. Buehler

Scientific discovery is an inherently creative and uncertain process, requiring reasoning beyond the recall of known knowledge. While many benchmarks have been proposed to evaluate…
