V0: Hypothesis Generation (Ghafarollahi & Buehler, 2024)

tl;dr

The baseline methodology for hypothesis generation is based on the approach introduced by Ghafarollahi & Buehler (2024). The system uses a multi-agent AI framework to generate and evaluate scientific hypotheses through five main phases:

  1. Knowledge Mapping: Generates conceptual pathways between scientific concepts in a knowledge graph

  2. Concept Analysis: Defines and contextualizes the relationships between identified concepts

  3. Hypothesis Generation: Synthesizes a comprehensive research proposal with seven key aspects

  4. Proposal Refinement: Critically expands each aspect with scientific depth and quantitative details

  5. Evaluation: Assesses the proposal's strengths, weaknesses, and novelty against existing literature
