LM4Sci Workshop

The focus of our workshop is on developing LLMs and AI systems that can accelerate scientific research in various scientific domains and assist human researchers. We aim to bring together researchers from different communities, including ML, NLP, Human-Computer Interaction, and various scientific disciplines such as biology and chemistry, to work together on the design, development, and evaluation of various forms of scientific LLMs and systems.

Many of these AI systems are shown to be helpful tools for human researchers to accelerate the scientific discovery process. For example, systems like Scideator provide assistance such as key facet extraction from papers and automated novelty assessment with explanations to facilitate ideation. Beyond these simple collaboration modes, there is still a huge under-explored space for building helpful AI tools for accelerating scientific research and fostering more effective human-AI collaboration in science.
