A new research paper introduces CG-Plan, a planning framework designed to overcome limitations in automated scientific discovery systems. Current systems often rely on myopic experiment selection, which can fail when a series of constructive actions are needed to acquire new capabilities. CG-Plan addresses this by formulating goal-directed discovery as a stochastic shortest-path problem, enabling it to recognize and value the acquisition of epistemic capabilities that unlock future actions. This approach is particularly effective in scenarios where near-miss hypotheses require a chain of constructive steps. AI
