MOOSE-Copilot: A Web-Based Interactive Assistant for Unified Exploratory and Fine-Grained Scientific Hypothesis Discovery

arXiv:2605.29475v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) show remarkable potential in scientific hypothesis discovery. However, existing approaches face two critical limitations: they treat divergent exploratory ideation and convergent fine-grained refinement as isolated tasks, and they operate autonomously with little to no human guidance. We present MOOSE-Copilot, the first unified framework to bridge this abstraction gap through a formalized human-AI interaction (HAII) protocol. Our system empowers scientists to steer the generative process via three explicit signals:
The rapid advancements in large language models necessitate more sophisticated human-AI interaction protocols for complex scientific tasks, pushing the frontier of AI utility in research.
This development allows scientists to more effectively leverage generative AI for novel hypothesis generation and refinement, potentially accelerating scientific discovery and innovation across various fields.
The paradigm shifts from autonomous, isolated AI tasks to a unified, human-steered generative process for scientific hypothesis discovery, making AI a more integrated and controllable research assistant.
