05 / Hypothesis Discovery
Hypothesis Discovery
Develop testable hypotheses from research databases, record how they evolve, and measure their correspondence with later research.
An agent returns a research tree: each recorded version connects a scientific claim to an investigation plan, decision criteria, and alternative explanations. Inspire Rate measures the share of those versions with a qualifying connection to research published after the model's knowledge cutoff.
Project results snapshot
PreviewFive model entries from the project results supplied on 20 October 2026. Research budgets differ across entries; ranks provide a descriptive ordering by overall Inspire Rate, not a comparison under equal research budgets.

Project results snapshot · Preview. Percentages retain the supplied snapshot's two-decimal rounding.
Ranks are calculated across all models before filtering, in descending order of the reported overall Inspire Rate. Ties share a rank and skip the following position (1, 1, 3). Missing rates and ranks appear as — and are listed last. Filtering and changing the display order preserve these ranks.
Generated counts all hypothesis versions. Filtered counts versions passing literature retrieval. Actionable counts versions judged inspired. Conditional = Actionable / Filtered; Inspire Rate = Actionable / Generated.
By research domain
| Rank | Model | Clinical / population | Therapeutic targets | Disease mechanisms | Population multi-omics |

The domain table uses the overall Inspire Rate rank, not a separate rank within each domain. Domain cells report Inspire Rate in percent. Domain denominators were not supplied; these percentages are not pooled or averaged, and no uncertainty intervals are inferred.
Versions include revisions of an existing hypothesis. Versions in the same research tree are dependent; these denominators are not counts of independent experiments.
What counts as inspired?
A hypothesis version is inspired when a publication after the model's recorded knowledge cutoff supplies a concrete experimental design, comparator, measurement, or testable evidence gap relevant to developing or testing that version.
The connection is correspondence with later research. It does not show that a publication's authors saw or adopted the hypothesis, or that the hypothesis has been experimentally verified.
Every recorded version, including each revision, belongs in the denominator. A version without a positive judgment may lack a qualifying connection or may not have been retrieved. The manuscript therefore treats Inspire Rate as a lower bound on correspondence under its retrieval and judgment procedure.
From a research tree to Inspire Rate
- 01
Research tree
Record every hypothesis version and the version it revises, together with its investigation plan and supporting evidence.
- 02
Freeze
Freeze the research tree and evidence before preparing evaluation materials.
- 03
Literature retrieval
Search the same model-blind reference corpus for each model, restricting references to publications after its recorded cutoff. The best-matching reference is eligible only if it shares at least three non-stopword terms with the hypothesis.
- 04
Judge
An automated judge checks whether the eligible reference supplies a qualifying scientific connection. Identical hypothesis–reference inputs share a judgment.
- 05
Inspire Rate
Divide positively judged versions by all generated versions, including versions without a retrieved eligible reference.
Cutoffs follow the manuscript's recorded operational boundaries: exact days where a serving date is recorded, and month-level boundaries otherwise. Individual cutoff dates and full run configurations are not reproduced in this preview.
Research inputs
Manuscript draftThe draft describes 6 research databases and 178 expert-proposed starting questions. Agents may develop the supplied questions or set them aside to pursue other directions.
- HCC clinical cohort
- MIMIC-IV
- eICU
- UK Biobank
- GEO
- ArrayExpress
The stated domains are clinical and population health, therapeutic target prioritization, disease mechanisms, and population multi-omics. These are manuscript collection counts; this page does not distribute the research databases or starting-question set.
Results source: two project result screenshots supplied on 20 October 2026. Metric definition and procedure: manuscript evaluation section and Appendix B. This page displays the supplied results; it does not execute a new evaluation.
