Engineering design frequently involves redesigning a prior solution to adapt to changes in context, such as material prices or system requirements. Redesign often leverages simulators too complex…
Machine learning has permeated material optimization, providing high value. Nevertheless, its re- liance on a high number of samples limits its applicability to relatively explored material families.
Recent work in additive manufacturing and neural inverse design enables the creation of complex three-dimensional structures to manipulate physical fields, yet these designs must also adhere to…
Can large language model (LLM) agents deliver expert-level operations research (OR) solutions directly from original client materials, without prior expert reformulation? Existing OR benchmarks…
Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have enabled them to act as autonomous agents, creating and editing 3D models via code or direct software manipulation. In practical…
Artificial intelligence for science (AI4S) is extending from interpretation of existing data to the design and execution of experiments. Space offers distinctive scientific opportunities while…
Dropwise condensation is key to power and water systems. State-of-the-art condensation surfaces are often inhomogeneous, either patterned by design or random defects.
Chemical language models can struggle to generate new molecules when trained on small datasets, where a model may reproduce training examples rather than learn a useful generative distribution.…
Scientific reasoning in specialized engineering fields depends on knowledge scattered across the literature, often proprietary and absent from frontier LLM training data. In such domains, frontier…
Several discrete design tasks, such as molecular discovery, require diverse collections of useful candidates at low computational cost. High validity alone does not guarantee a useful candidate…
Existing reasoning evaluations typically provide task-relevant information to models as available premises, rarely examining concurrently how models discover evidence autonomously and how information…
Recursive self-improvement (RSI) relies on evaluation feedback to assess progress and guide further research, yet repeatedly running complex benchmarks is costly and slows iteration. Human experts…
Large language model agents increasingly undertake long-horizon tasks in complex environments characterized by fragmented evidence, partially completed states, and dependencies across resources and…
LLMs can act as scientific agents using tools to consult specialists and run experiments. Yet specialist information must enter their context, generally as text, images, audio or video: a bottleneck…
Theoretical predictions of novel materials rely on a variety of techniques, from data-mining-based ion substitution methods to fully de novo generative models. Each approach imposes specific…
Objective: Variable selection for clinical prediction models is commonly done on statistical grounds related to model fit. Statistical approaches ignore the cost of misclassifications and the harm of…
Before AI can be trusted to discover new science, it should be able to reproduce what science already knows. Reproduction provides a rigorous checkpoint for an AI scientist: the target claim is…
Using machine learning, we identify a second transition in polymer chain stretching driven by planar elongational flow, beyond the well-known coil-stretch transition. We achieve this by developing a…
Small-molecule identification from tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) may require complementary measurements. Herein, we propose a structure-informed deep Q-network (SI-DQN) that uses existing MS/MS…
While mining parallel sentences from web pages has proven effective for low-resource machine translation, the majority of the world's languages have little to no web presence. What they do have,…
Generating interactive 3D assets from a single image requires realistic appearance, fidelity to the depicted object, and plausible physical behavior. Yet detailed geometry alone does not determine…
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a fundamental shift in drug discovery, moving beyond traditional target inhibition toward the event-driven removal of disease-causing proteins. A…
