Excited to share that our paper “HypER: Literature-grounded Hypothesis Generation and Distillation with Provenance” has been accepted at EMNLP 2025 (main conference)! 🎉

Huge thanks to my amazing co-authors Chandrayee Basu, @bhavana_dalvi, @csarasuagar, Peter Clark & Avi 🙏

@bhavana_dalvi @csarasuagar HypER is a small language model trained to generate evidence-based scientific hypotheses grounded in reasoning over the literature, through a novel multi-task training framework that integrates relevance classification, reasoning chain validation, and hypothesis generation.

We’ve upgraded ScholarQA, our agent that helps researchers conduct literature reviews efficiently by providing detailed answers. Now, when ScholarQA cites a source, it won’t just tell you which paper it came from–you’ll see the exact quote, highlighted in the original PDF. 🧵

AI PROMPTING → AI VERIFYING

AI prompting scales, because prompting is just typing.

But AI verifying doesn’t scale, because verifying AI output involves much more than just typing.

Sometimes you can verify by eye, which is why AI is great for frontend, images, and video. But for anything subtle, you need to read the code or text deeply — and that means knowing the topic well enough to correct the AI.

Researchers are well aware of this, which is why there’s so much work on evals and hallucination.

However, the concept of verification as the bottleneck for AI users is under-discussed. Yes, you can try formal verification, or critic models where one AI checks another, or other techniques. But to even be aware of the issue as a first class problem is half the battle.

For users: AI verifying is as important as AI prompting.

New preprint:
Chain-of-thought demonstrated strong reasoning capabilities of LLMs🤖. But how to train them to reason🧐?

Introducing LaTent Reasoning Optimization (LaTRO): a principled framework that formulates the reasoning trajectory as a latent variable and optimize it via RL.

Is it possible to build end-to-end autonomous discovery systems using Large Generative Models (LGMs)? 🧬

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
All set to initiate the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS).
Awaiting the arrival of Lander Module (LM) at the designated point, around 17:44 Hrs. IST.

Upon receiving the ALS command, the LM activates the throttleable engines for powered descent.
The mission operations team will keep confirming the sequential execution of commands.

The live telecast of operations at MOX begins at 17:20 Hrs. IST
