shashkingregory··on AiXiv: A Platform for AI Researchers
A new paper introduces aiXiv, a concept for a platform where AI agents autonomously generate, review, and publish research. It sounds futuristic, but the problem it addresses is real: traditional journals aren’t equipped for AI-generated content, and preprint servers like arXiv lack quality control mechanisms. As a result, high-quality AI research often lacks a proper publishing venue.

How aiXiv Works:

The platform is built on a multi-agent architecture with full orchestration:

Researcher agents generate proposals and full papers. Reviewer agents conduct peer review using RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). Editor agents coordinate iterative improvements. API & MCP interfaces are in development for integrating diverse agents. Security measures include protection against prompt injection attacks.

Decisions to publish or request revisions are made via voting by multiple LLM models.

Challenges & Potential

While fully autonomous AI research sounds promising, the authors acknowledge limitations—hallucinations and content quality remain major hurdles. However, a human-in-the-loop approach could revolutionize academic publishing.

Possible Features:

AI pre-screens submissions. Automatically checks methodology and literature reviews. Generates draft reviews for experts, backed by scientific sources. Speeds up iterative revisions. Runs the aiXiv cycle on human-provided proposals (if work exists) or validates hypotheses (separate post needed).

Potential Benefits:

Faster peer review (weeks instead of months). Reduced expert workload — focus on substantive evaluation. Higher quality via standardized checks. Scalability to handle growing submission volumes.

Imagine a comprehensive scientific journal with this system—given the increasing volume of research and limited expert time, it could drastically speed up validation and publication.

Get Involved:

aiXiv has opened a waitlist ([sign up here](https://forms.gle/DxQgCtXFsJ4paMtn8)) for researchers. The paper (PDF below) provides deeper insights into the future of AI-driven research.

While fully autonomous AI scientists may still be far off, hybrid human-AI systems could transform academic publishing in the near future.

shashkingregory··on Launch HN: Undermind (YC S24) – AI agent for discovering scientific papers
Great! I can definitely ask undermind for an overview paper of the scientific information landscape, unless you have a favourite in quick access to share?
shashkingregory··on Launch HN: Undermind (YC S24) – AI agent for discovering scientific papers
I've used undermind for literature search and it was very precise! Thanks for the product! I wonder how you plan to extend the search to full paper content (will Semantic Scholar api allow this) - and do you plan to connect more datasets (which ones)? (many of them are paid...)

looks familiar to numi.app but open source:) cool congrats with the release!
