Inspired from the idea that an AI assistant that can provide suggestions in plain English, including unique thoughts and connections.
Contextual Literature-Based Discovery (C-LBD) developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2). C-LBD aims to address the limitations of traditional literature-based discovery (LBD) by using a natural language setting to constrain the generation space for LBD and generate sentences. The researchers introduce a novel modeling framework for C-LBD that can gather inspiration from disparate sources and use them to form novel hypotheses. They also introduce an in-context contrastive model to promote creative thinking. The team believes that expanding C-LBD to include a multimodal analysis of formulas, tables, and figures to provide a more comprehensive and enriched background context is an intriguing direction to investigate in the future. The use of advanced LLMs like GPT-4, which is currently in development, is another avenue to investigate. Can Language Models Generate New Scientific Ideas?

The assistant accepts as input (1) relevant information, such as present challenges, motives, and constraints, and (2) a seed phrase that should be the primary focus of the developed scientific concept. Given this information, C-LBD generates scientific hypotheses in natural language while grounding them in context that controls the hypothesis search space. C-LBD also takes into account critical context like experimental settings and background knowledge and motivations that human scientists. Two forms of C-LBD were investigated:
- one that generates a full phrase explaining an idea
- and another that generates only a salient component of the idea.
