Schema-Anchored Latent Reasoning for Semantic Parsing-Based Knowledge Base Question Answering

The paper introduces SALR, a schema‑anchored latent reasoning approach for generating logical forms in knowledge‑base question answering. SALR delays explicit schema commitments by generating continuous thoughts in hidden states and aligns these thoughts with a codebook of KB schema elements, guided by an alignment objective derived from gold logical forms. Experiments on GrailQA and WebQSP demonstrate that SALR consistently outperforms strong baselines, notably improving compositional question performance by 2.86 F1 points over TIARA.

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.

A Multitask Large Reasoning Model for Molecular Science

The paper introduces a multitask large reasoning model for molecular science that incorporates chemical knowledge via a multispecialist architecture, chain-of-thought supervision, and molecule-informed reinforcement learning. It coordinates prediction and inference specialists across ten molecular tasks—including description, generation, nomenclature translation, property prediction, and reaction prediction—using task-conditioned routing. The model surpasses more than 20 general-purpose and molecular large language models, improving aggregate performance by 50.3% and outperforming leading multitask baselines on most tasks, while maintaining interpretable chemical inference and demonstrating a workflow for CNS candidate generation and retrosynthetic planning.

Accelerating Scientific Research with Gemini in the Real-World

The paper extends Co‑Scientist, a Gemini‑based multi‑agent system, and validates it in real‑world scientific settings. In materials science it designed a safe precursor route for MXenes and achieved single‑attempt growth of monolayer MoS₂, MoSe₂, and WS₂. In biology it predicted swarming phenotypes of engineered E. coli, and in computer science it discovered a superior inference‑time scaling architecture for HealthBench. A double‑blind study with 30 experts showed that Co‑Scientist’s reliability modules reduce hallucination and plagiarism while improving research safety.
