Discovery Foundation Models: Toward Open-Ended Discovery Intelligence

Ling Yang, Zhenfei Yin, Yingcheng Wu

What this work does

Defines discovery foundation-model systems through revisable research states and seven coupled capabilities, with state-conditioned operations, experimental gating and validated cross-task discovery skills.

Connection to discovery

Connects problem discovery, representation construction, experiments, verification and learning as one discovery-system agenda.

Evidence

Consulted the system boundary, Zetema state dynamics, GALILEO dry/wet-lab grounding, proposed training objectives and capability-oriented evaluation design.

Scope and limitations

Proposed objectives and system designs should be separated from controlled evidence for each capability; scientific and therapeutic claims need their own experimental validation.
