Generating Interesting Scientific Ideas using Knowledge Graphs and LLMs: Evaluations with 100 Research Group Leaders

The paper introduces SciMuse, an AI system that generates personalized research ideas by combining a knowledge graph of 58 million papers with a large language model. A large-scale evaluation involving over 100 research group leaders across disciplines rated more than 4,400 ideas, yielding modest overall interest scores but showing that 24.9% were rated highly. The study also demonstrates that graph-derived features can predict idea interest and can be used to control idea properties, offering a new methodology for generating and assessing scientific ideas.

AI in Science: Early Insights

The paper "AI in Science: Early Insights" analyzes AI’s impact on scientific work using data from 15 million Gemini interactions, 2,600 specialized AI models, and a survey of 600 scientists. It finds widespread AI adoption, complementary use of large language models and specialized tools, significant productivity gains of about seven hours per week, and a shift in research bottlenecks toward hypothesis backlog and verification needs. The study suggests AI can boost scientific productivity but its full effect depends on addressing new downstream challenges.
