让 AI 自己提出研究问题：自主研究智能体论文发布
Letting AI Formulate the Research Question: Autonomous Research Agents
AI 导读
Ko Fujimura 在 arXiv 发布论文，研究让 AI 自行提出研究问题而非由人类指定研究领域。系统给现成编码智能体一份指令文档和两个技能，一个用于提出问题（跨领域发散、筛查已知失败模式并由另一模型给出批评），另一个用于同行评审（由另一模型家族的评审者依据记录重跑研究后再修改论文）。

Abstract:Systems such as The AI Scientist have shown that AI agents can carry out and write up research, but in those demonstrations humans chose the research area and selected the outputs to show. We study letting the AI formulate the research question itself, and we report every run. Our system gives an off-the-shelf coding agent an instruction document and two skills: one for formulating the question, in which the agent diverges from recent technologies into problems of other fields, screens its candidates for known failure modes and obtains a critique from a different model; and one for peer review, in which a reviewer from another model family reruns the study from its records before the agent revises the paper. Over 13 development runs, changes to the one or two sentences that set the research area coincided with large shifts in what the candidate questions and the chosen papers were about, which led us to the area of a new technology applied to a societal problem. We froze the system after a pilot run and report five consecutive runs: the pilot, counted by a disclosed amendment to the pre-registration, and four pre-registered runs. All five runs went from question formulation to a revised, re-computable paper, with local computation on a laptop and no research input from humans, and external AI reviewers reading only the papers judged them at or near workshop level. We release the system, the five papers and the records needed to reproduce them.
