"Chinese Researchers Aim to Develop Authentic AI Scientists"

Chinese researchers have developed a new framework for training machine learning models that incorporates prior knowledge alongside data, aiming to create "real AI scientists" capable of improving experiments and solving scientific problems. The framework assesses the value of rules and determines which combinations result in the most predictive models, potentially making AI models more reflective of the real world and more useful in science and engineering. The team hopes to further develop the framework to allow AI to identify its own knowledge and rules directly from data without human interference.
