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…
The Future of Artificial Intelligence and the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (AI+MPS)
Andrew Ferguson, Marisa LaFleur, Lars Ruthotto +97
This community paper developed out of the NSF Workshop on the Future of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Mathematical and Physics Sciences (MPS), which was held in March 2025 w…
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 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…
