Fig. 2: A possible space of exploration by AI Scientists.
From: Nobel Turing Challenge: creating the engine for scientific discovery
Search space structures for a perfect information games as represented by the Game of GO and b scientific discovery are illustrated with commonalities and differences. While the search space for the Game of GO is well-defined, the search space for scientific discovery is open-ended. A practical initial strategy is to augment search space based on current scientific knowledge with human-centric AI-Human Hybrid system. An extreme option is to set search space broadly into distant hypothesis spaces where AI Scientist may discover knowledge that was unlikely to be discovered by the human scientist.
