Colloquium: Yuan-Sen Ting (RSAA) 'Can artificial intelligence generate meaningful scientific hypotheses?' »

Our research presents the first astronomy-centric Large Language Model (LLM), AstroLLaMa, that can produces text completion and embedding that outperform GPT models. We also show that LLMs can generate scientific hypotheses of a complexity comparable to those produced by human experts.
