Abstract

VISIONARY is an AI system that accelerates energy materials discovery by automatically generating hypotheses about structure-property relationships. It analyzes patterns in materials data, identifies promising correlations, and proposes testable scientific hypotheses without human intervention. By streamlining this reasoning process, VISIONARY helps researchers efficiently identify candidate materials with desired properties, significantly speeding up the materials development pipeline for energy applications. During the project, we developed a standalone application. The application uses a combination of papers provided by the user and data collected from FutureHouse’s dataset to build an understanding of the background that the user wants to explore for the hypothesis.
