🔬Research ideation is hard: After the spark of a brilliant initial idea, much work is still needed to further develop it into a well-thoughtout project by iteratively expanding and refining the initial idea and grounding it to relevant literature. How can we better support this?
Some of our amazing teammates are organizing this exciting workshop for NAACL 2025 — submit your papers by January 30! 🎉
We (@peterjansen_ai, @mbodhisattwa, @tusharkhot, @harsh3vedi, @Hoper_Tom, @_DougDowney, @erichorvitz) are excited to announce the 📣1st Workshop on AI & Scientific Discovery Workshop (AISD), co-located with NAACL 2025. 📣 tinyurl.com/aisd25

Friends and colleagues! I'm on the academic job market in Fall 24/Spring 25. My research intersects NLP, IR, and HCI and I develop interactive and personalized models to aid workflows where knowledge workers find, consume, and produce information. Please help spread the word! 🧵
Fascinating commentary @sannnnnnnaz ! Great to see engagment with our conceptual framework on human-AI scientific discovery (e.g., inner-outer world interfaces). x.com/Hoper_Tom/stat…
Two new commentaries out! The first is in American Psychologist, where we provide a brief workflow for LLM-assisted hypothesis generation. (w/ Alejandro Hermida Carillo and @ClemensStachl) sanaztalaifar.com/_files/ugd/ce9…

Thanks @IntuitMachine for sharing our work on literature-based human-AI discovery!
1/n Scideator: A Novel Tool for Scientific Ideation The relentless pursuit of novel scientific ideas fuels progress and innovation. However, the very process of ideation, of conceiving new research directions, presents significant challenges for researchers. Navigating the…
My understanding is that @OpenAI heavily use @WecoAI's codebase (AIDE, github.com/WecoAI/aideml) without giving proper credit -- they rebrand the benchmark as MLE-bench, use @WecoAI's evaluation metrics, and their contribution is ~limited to adding o1-preview on top of it 🫤
Excited to see OpenAI's recent project, MLE-bench, is based on our open-source effort, AIDE. In their independent evaluation, AIDE surpasses other MLE agents by a large margin!
