Researchers have developed a novel method to evaluate and generate research proposals using language models by framing it as a scientific forecasting problem. They created a dataset of 21,835 paper occurrences and introduced the Future Alignment Score (FAS) to measure how well a proposal anticipates future research directions. Tuning models like Llama-3.1 and Qwen2.5 with this approach improved future alignment by up to 10.6%, with human evaluations confirming enhanced proposal quality. The generated proposals have also shown practical impact, leading to accuracy gains in the MATH dataset and improvements in model-merging techniques. AI
