arXiv:2607. 16845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientists at European XFEL conduct experiments that generate very large and complex datasets.
arXiv:2606. 28856v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While AI holds the potential to revolutionize space life sciences, realizing this promise is contingent upon the systematic restructuring of heterogeneous spaceflight biological data into machine-actionable, AI-ready forms.

arXiv:2607. 02771v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Leadership computing facilities steward large-scale scientific datasets that routinely require substantial transformation before serving as AI training data.
arXiv:2607. 22677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific datasets intended for AI use require both computational readiness for model training and metadata readiness for discovery, sharing, and reuse.
The paper introduces Biomedica, an open-source dataset sourced from PubMed Central that includes over 6 million scientific articles and 24 million image‑text pairs, along with 27 metadata fields and expert human annotations. To facilitate use, the authors provide scalable streaming and search APIs via a web server. They demonstrate the dataset’s value by training embedding models, chat‑style models, and retrieval‑augmented chat agents, all of which outperform previous open systems in their categories.
arXiv:2512. 16455v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The rapid growth of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in scientific research has highlighted a gap between industry-standard MLOps tools and platforms, and the unique requirements of modern and Open Science, particularly regarding the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles.
arXiv:2509. 23426v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: AI scientists are emerging computational systems that serve as collaborative partners in discovery.
The paper introduces the Scientific Data Skill (SciDSK), an agent‑ready representation that packages dataset‑specific knowledge and operational guidance as a reusable skill. SciDSK integrates dataset descriptions, scientific context, file organization, usage procedures, quality checks, and provenance information while keeping the data in its original repository. The authors define a structured specification, build a construction pipeline, and launch the Scientific Data Skill Bank to publish SciDSK resources across six scientific disciplines, demonstrating improved agent‑driven dataset discovery and interpretation through evaluation benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 19625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific data are increasingly used by AI agents, yet existing dataset representations provide limited support for autonomous discovery, interpretation, and invocation.
The article introduces Traceable Trust, a framework designed to guide the transition from AI-generated outputs to laboratory actions in bioscience. It outlines a reviewable process that evaluates evidence, claimed capabilities, delegated agency, action thresholds, override mechanisms, and feedback loops. Three case studies demonstrate how the framework can document trust as AI outputs influence scientific work.
Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems are beginning to assist, accelerate, and partially automate scientific discovery, performing tasks that span literature synthesis, code generation, data analysis, hypothesis proposal, and model criticism. We argue that this transition is qualitative rather than incremental, and that suitably designed multi-agent systems may evolve from passive computational tools into ``AI scientists'' that can expand the hypothesis-generating and verification capacity of science.
arXiv:2606. 04755v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present Archi, an open-source, end-to-end framework for scientific collaborations that combines the systematic ingestion and organization of heterogeneous data sources with the deployment of configurable, private, and extensible agents that retrieve and reason over them.
arXiv:2607. 06133v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern software systems increasingly depend on data for analysis, prediction, testing, and decision-making.
