Surrogate-Gated Generation and Foundation-Model Embeddings for Bayesian Materials Design

arXiv:2606. 28578v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Closed-loop materials discovery iterates between proposing candidate structures and evaluating their properties, and property evaluation dominates the cost.

Frugal Bayesian Optimization: Scalable Surrogates for Data- and Resource-Limited Discovery

arXiv:2607. 29225v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian Optimization (BO) is widely adopted for data-efficient optimization in scientific and engineering applications, yet its computational cost is rarely evaluated alongside optimization performance.

Large Discovery Models: Empirically-grounded Model-Based Open-Ended Search

arXiv:2608. 15669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific discovery often involves optimising expensive-to-evaluate objectives over vast, structured, and open-ended hypothesis spaces, such as molecules, protein sequences, and computer programs.

MatMind: A Structure-Activity Knowledge-Driven Generative Foundation Model for Materials Science

arXiv:2606. 07712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Progress in AI-driven crystal materials science has so far been carried by narrow architectures purpose-built for individual tasks -- graph neural networks for property prediction, diffusion and flow-matching models for crystal generation -- each excelling within its niche yet unable to act as a shared backbone across the full spectrum of materials problems.
