    Scientific discovery as meta-optimization: a combinatorial optimization case study

    arXiv:2606.26728v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific discovery is fundamentally an optimization problem, defined by a vast "state space" of theories and experiments, and an evaluation criterion based on quality, novelty, and validity. Large language models (LLMs) have enabl…

    Learning the ARTS of Search for Automated Discovery

    Scientific discovery can be formulated as an iterative search process over the space of hypotheses and experiments. Contemporary methods navigate this space using heuristics such as MCTS. These algorithms conflate the merit of a hypothesis with the quality of its experimental exe…
