[R] ResearchAgent: Iterative Research Idea Generation over Scientific Literature with Large Language Models

**Paper**: [https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.07738](https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.07738)

**Abstract**:

>Scientific Research, vital for improving human life, is hindered by its inherent complexity, slow pace, and the need for specialized experts. To enhance its productivity, we propose a **ResearchAgent**, a large language model-powered research idea writing agent, which automatically generates problems, methods, and experiment designs while iteratively refining them based on scientific literature. Specifically, starting with a core paper as the primary focus to generate ideas, our ResearchAgent is augmented not only with relevant publications through connecting …
