Towards Diverse Scientific Hypothesis Search with Large Language Models
Haorui Wang, Parshin Shojaee, Kazem Meidani +7
Large language models (LLMs) are on the rise for accelerating scientific discovery, most recently in advanced tasks such as generating valid scientific hypotheses. Yet in many disc…
LLM-Augmented Chemical Synthesis and Design Decision Programs
Haorui Wang, Jeff Guo, Lingkai Kong +4
Retrosynthesis, the process of breaking down a target molecule into simpler precursors through a series of valid reactions, stands at the core of organic chemistry and drug develop…
Evaluating Large Language Models in Scientific Discovery
Zhangde Song, Jieyu Lu, Yuanqi Du +53
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to scientific research, yet prevailing science benchmarks probe decontextualized knowledge and overlook the iterative reasonin…
Accelerating Scientific Discovery with Autonomous Goal-evolving Agents
Yuanqi Du, Botao Yu, Tianyu Liu +25
There has been unprecedented interest in developing agents that expand the boundary of scientific discovery, primarily by optimizing quantitative objective functions specified by s…
Diffusion Models as Constrained Samplers for Optimization with Unknown Constraints
Lingkai Kong, Yuanqi Du, Wenhao Mu +8
Addressing real-world optimization problems becomes particularly challenging when analytic objective functions or constraints are unavailable. While numerous studies have addressed…
MatLLMSearch: Crystal Structure Discovery with Evolution-Guided Large Language Models
Jingru Gan, Peichen Zhong, Yuanqi Du +7
Crystal structure generation is fundamental to materials science, enabling the discovery of novel materials with desired properties. While existing approaches leverage Large Langua…
