HypoEvolve: תגלית תאורטית: אלגוריתמי תגלית גנטית מאפשרים ל-LLMs לגלות תאוריות מדעיות

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.15938v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific agents contribute to hypothesis discovery by synthesizing evidence, assessing proposals, and developing new explanations. Recent systems combine scientific agents with evolutionary search through critique, comparison, and revision. However, how different forms of agent collaboration affect hypothesis quality remains an open question. Answering this question requires separating the effects of agents' scientific capabilities from those of their collaboration. A framework must therefore preserve agents' scientific roles and support rules for combining, revising, and retaining hypotheses. Building on this view, we introduce HypoEvolve, which makes collaboration explicit through successive updates to a hypothesis population. Specificall
