新颖的研究思路对推动科学进步至关重要。尽管大型语言模型(LLMs)在利用大规模科学文献生成新研究思路方面展现出潜力,但现有方法多依赖简单的关键词共现或语义相似性,忽视了科学概念间复杂的上下文关联。例如,同时提及“关键词A”和“关键词B”的论文常包含融合两者的创新思路。部分基于LLM的方法虽能提出并优化想法,却未能有效利用科学概念网络,导致想法缺乏实证基础。为此,我们提出Deep Ideation框架,整合捕捉共现与上下文关系的科学概念网络,增强LLM驱动的创意生成。该框架采用探索-扩展-演化工作流,通过思想栈(Idea Stack)追踪进展,并引入一个基于真实审稿反馈训练的批判引擎,持续评估想法的新颖性与可行性。实验表明,本方法生成想法的质量较其他方法提升10.67%,达到顶级会议录用水平。人工评估证实其科研实用性,消融实验验证了各组件的有效性。代码已开源:https://github.com/kyZhao-1/Deep-Ideation。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Novel research ideas play a critical role in advancing scientific inquiries. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated their potential to generate novel research ideas by leveraging large-scale scientific literature. However, previous work in research ideation has primarily relied on simplistic methods, such as keyword co-occurrence or semantic similarity. These approaches focus on identifying statistical associations in the literature but overlook the complex, contextual relationships between scientific concepts, which are essential to effectively leverage knowledge embedded in human literature. For instance, papers that simultaneously mention "keyword A" and "keyword B" often present research ideas that integrate both concepts. Additionally, some LLM-driven methods propose and refine research ideas using the model's internal knowledge, but they fail to effectively utilize the scientific concept network, limiting the grounding of ideas in established research. To address these challenges, we propose the Deep Ideation framework to address these challenges, integrating a scientific network that captures keyword co-occurrence and contextual relationships, enriching LLM-driven ideation. The framework introduces an explore-expand-evolve workflow to iteratively refine research ideas, using an Idea Stack to track progress. A critic engine, trained on real-world reviewer feedback, guides the process by providing continuous feedback on the novelty and feasibility of ideas. Our experiments show that our approach improves the quality of generated ideas by 10.67% compared to other methods, with ideas surpassing top conference acceptance levels. Human evaluation highlights their practical value in scientific research, and ablation studies confirm the effectiveness of each component in the workflow.
