Meta intern research: IdeaScientist boosts AI research proposal novelty by 25%
JeremyNguyenPhD · x · 2026-10-12
IdeaScientist, research from a Meta internship by Jiarui Liu et al., trains specialized agents to identify research gaps, find cross-domain connections, and generate concrete research proposals. Key results: +14% overall over open autoresearch baselines, +25% novelty, 75–92% human preference win rates in blind evals against six baselines, and cross-domain retrieval substantially improves idea transfer between fields.
