Personalized Auto-Research: Towards a True AI Co-Scientist
- 用图结构建模研究人员的学术背景,实现个性化决策
- 相同目标下不同人得到不同研究方案,避免千篇一律
- 适合希望提升科研效率与独特性的研究者
能够生成假设、检索文献、设计实验、执行代码并撰写论文的AI科研助手正改变研究方式。然而现有系统仍为无差别设计:给定研究目标后,仅优化新颖性、有效性或评审分数,忽视实际使用者的个体差异。这忽略了科研本质——新颖性、价值与可行性取决于研究者自身,包括过往成果、方法储备及合作网络。本文提出个性化自动研究问题,要求将研究人员个体特征贯穿于研究全过程。我们构建了一个通用灵活框架,通过图结构研究员表征,实现从检索、假说探索、实验到写作与评审的全链路个性化。框架包含三部分:(i) 基于图的学者表征,(ii) 全流程个性化,(iii) 个体化评估。我们指出‘一刀切’模式的失败:不同研究者提出相同目标却获得相似结果,抹除了创新所依赖的隐性知识。最后讨论了核心开放问题与挑战。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
AI co-scientists that generate hypotheses, retrieve related work, design experiments, execute code, and draft full papers are beginning to change how research is carried out. Despite this rapid progress, state-of-the-art systems remain researcher-agnostic: given a research goal, they optimize novelty, validity, or reviewer score while ignoring the individual scientist who will use the output. This overlooks a fundamental fact about research, namely, that what counts as novel, valuable, or feasible depends on the researcher, including their prior work, methodological repertoire, and the collaborators and communities in which they are embedded. In this work, we introduce the problem of personalized auto-research, which conditions every stage of the research process on a representation of the individual researcher. We argue that personalization is not a convenience layer, but rather the fundamental property that allows an AI system to serve as a genuine co-scientist rather than a generic instrument. To address this problem, we propose a general and flexible framework that threads a graph-grounded researcher context through retrieval, hypothesis search, experimentation, writing, and review. The framework consists of three fundamental components: (i) graph-grounded researcher representations, (ii) personalization across the full research pipeline, and (iii) evaluation grounded in the individual. Notably, we highlight a one-size-fits-all failure mode where distinct researchers issuing the same goal receive essentially the same research, erasing the tacit knowledge through which novel ideas arise. Finally, we discuss fundamental open problems and challenges.
