Minerva: Hie lab's data-mining framework for scientific discovery
BrianHie · x · 2026-09-23
Brian Hie highlights a completed research project by @DavidLi and @garykbrixi: a scientific data-mining effort whose framework, Minerva, is now available as a preprint.
- Advisors: Michael Grinstein (mfgrp) and Brian Hie supported the project
- Co-authors include Alex Kim, Mateus Fiamenghi, Carolyn Driscoll, Simone Alma, Natalia Ivanova, Nikos Kyrpides, Karl Deisseroth, and Max Wilkinson
- The authors say they're excited to see what others find with Minerva
The threads by Li and Brixi contain the paper details; this is an AI-for-science framework intended to help researchers mine scientific data for new discoveries.
