Empirical Research Assistance (ERA): From Nature publication to catalyzing Computational Discovery
Google Research has developed Empirical Research Assistance (ERA), an AI tool designed to help scientists write and optimize code for computational experiments. Published in Nature, ERA utilizes Gemini to search scientific literature, generate code, and evaluate solutions, demonstrating expert-level performance across various scientific disciplines. This technology is being integrated into a new experimental tool called Computational Discovery, which is rolling out through Gemini for Science, aiming to accelerate scientific discovery by improving the efficiency of testing and refining computational models.
