Ontology-constrained multi-LLM scoring of hypothesis support in the predictive processing literature

arXiv:2606.05206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fragmentation is common in interdisciplinary fields with diverse methods and theoretical commitments. Predictive coding neuroscience is a clear example: its literature spans computational theory, electrophysiology, imaging, behavior, and modeling, creating a synthesis problem that conventional meta-analysis cannot easily resolve. Here, we describe a local multi-LLM pipeline for ontology-constrained literature synthesis. The pipeline reads papers, extracts evidence, incorporates figure descriptions, assembles constrained prompts, and validates o

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of interdisciplinary research, particularly in fields like neuroscience, makes current meta-analysis methods insufficient, driving the need for AI-powered solutions.

Why it’s important

This development introduces a scalable method for synthesizing complex, fragmented literature, potentially accelerating scientific understanding and discovery in interdisciplinary domains.

What changes

The ability to perform ontology-constrained literature synthesis using multi-LLM pipelines could fundamentally alter how scientific knowledge is aggregated and validated.
