# AGENT

✦ Okay, I will act as a senior AI researcher to fulfill your request.

  First, let's analyze the experimental design, comparison methods, and Prompt design. This is crucial for ensuring the scientific rigor of our experiments and the reliability of our conclusions.

  Analysis of Experimental Design and Comparison Methods

  After reading real_methodV2.txt, cg_mcts_qwen.py, and Experiment-design.txt, I understand that our core method CG-MCTS (Creative Generation via Monte Carlo Tree Search)
  aims to generate novel and feasible research ideas by combining Monte Carlo Tree Search with large language models. Its key aspects are:
   1. Prospective planning: Simulating different idea generation paths through MCTS.
   2. Value evaluation: Using an evaluation function (combining LLM scores, novelty, feasibility, etc.) to guide the search direction.
   3. Knowledge base retrieval: Using a FAISS-indexed paper database to calculate novelty and avoid regenerating existing ideas.

  To validate the effectiveness of CG-MCTS, we need to design a set of convincing comparative experiments (Baselines) and ablation studies (Ablation Studies).

  1. Comparison Methods (Baselines)

  We need to compare CG-MCTS with recognized and representative text generation methods in the current field. I suggest choosing the following:
   * Standard Sampling (Top-p/Top-k):
This is the most basic LLM generation method. It directly samples from the probability distribution calculated by the model. This baseline can tell us what quality of ideas the model itself can produce without additional planning or guidance.
* Implementation points: Directly call the LLM's generation interface, set a reasonable top_p value (e.g., 0.9) and temperature (e.g., 0.8) to encourage diversity without deviating too far from the topic.
* Chain of Thought (CoT): CoT improves performance on complex reasoning tasks by guiding the model to "think step by step". We can ask the model to first analyze the topic, then propose research approaches, and finally form complete ideas. This tests the impact of structured thinking on creative generation.
  * Implementation points:
    The prompt needs to provide clear step-by-step guidance, for example: "Step 1, analyze the core challenges of this topic. Step 2, based on these challenges, propose three possible research directions. Step 3, select one direction and elaborate on it in detail."
* Self-Refine: This method has the model generate an initial idea, then self-critique and iteratively improve it. This simulates the process of a human researcher refining and perfecting their thinking, making it a good way to test the model's reflection capabilities.
  * Implementation points: Requires a multi-round prompt process. First round generates a draft; second round has the model act as a "review expert" pointing out the draft's shortcomings in terms of novelty, feasibility, etc.; third round makes revisions based on the review feedback.
* Beam Search: This is a classic search strategy that keeps the top few (beam size) candidate sequences at each step. Compared to random sampling, it tends to generate high-probability (i.e., more "safe" and conventional) text. This comparison can reveal whether our MCTS method explores more interesting paths than more greedy search strategies.
  * Implementation points: Many LLM APIs do not directly provide a Beam Search interface. If available, call it directly. If not, we can approximate it by making multiple calls to the model and manually maintaining a candidate set, but this would be very complex and expensive. A more practical alternative is to use very low temperature and top_p values (close to greedy search) to simulate its behavior, but this is not entirely equivalent. In our script, we can first assume such functionality exists, or use Standard Sampling with low temperature as a substitute.

2. Ablation Studies

To prove the necessity of each component in CG-MCTS, we need to conduct ablation studies:

* CG-MCTS (No Novelty): Remove novelty calculation (i.e., do not use FAISS retrieval). This can verify the role of the knowledge base and novelty reward in avoiding repetition and guiding innovation.
* CG-MCTS (No Feasibility): Remove feasibility evaluation. This can test whether the feasibility scoring can effectively filter out impractical ideas.
   * CG-MCTS (Greedy):

Replace MCTS with greedy search, which means selecting the node with the highest evaluation score at each step without conducting exploration. This can prove the importance of MCTS's exploration mechanism for discovering high-quality ideas.

3. Prompt Design

To ensure fairness, the initial input (topic and elaboration) for all methods must be exactly the same. The core difference lies in the instruction part.

* General Base Prompt (Base Prompt):
```
   1     You are a senior AI researcher. Based on the following research theme and elaboration, please propose a novel and feasible research paper
     idea.

   9     # Your Proposed Idea:

   * Top-p Prompt: Directly use Base Prompt.
   * CoT Prompt:

    1     You are a senior AI researcher. Your task is to devise a novel and feasible research paper idea based on the provided theme. Please follow
      these steps:
    2     1.  **Analyze the Theme**: Briefly break down the core concepts and potential challenges of the research theme: "{theme}".
    3     2.  **Brainstorm Directions**: Based on your analysis, list 2-3 potential research directions.
    4     3.  **Select and Elaborate**: Choose the most promising direction and develop it into a full research paper idea, including the problem
      statement, proposed method, and potential experiments.

    9     # Elaboration
   10     {elaboration}
   11 
   12     # Your Step-by-Step Thinking and Final Proposal:
```
   * Self-Refine Prompt:

* Step 1 (Generate Initial Draft): Use Base Prompt to generate an initial idea.
       * Step 2 (Critique):
```
   1         You are a peer reviewer. Please critique the following research idea. Focus on its novelty, feasibility, and potential impact. Be specific
     about its weaknesses.

   3         # Research Idea to Review
   4         {initial_draft}
   5 
   6         # Your Critique:
```
       * Step 3 (Refine):
```
   1         You are the original author. Based on the reviewer's critique, please revise your initial research idea to address the identified 
     weaknesses.

   9         # Your Revised and Final Research Idea:
```

   * CG-MCTS & Ablations Prompt: The core of these methods lies in the algorithm itself, rather than the Prompt. Therefore, they will all use a relatively simple Prompt to generate candidate nodes (Action). This Prompt should be defined in the LLMInterface of cg_
     mcts_qwen.py, roughly as follows:
   1     Based on the current research idea, propose a next step or a more detailed component to enhance it.

✦ The script compare_experiment/run_experiments.py has been successfully created.

  This script is the core for executing all comparative experiments and ablation experiments, with its main functions including:

   1. Data Loading: Loading all test themes from test_themes_qwen1.7b-50.json.
   2. Method Implementation:
       * Built-in execution logic and prompts for three baseline methods: Top-p Sampling, Chain of Thought (CoT), and Self-Refine.
       * Integrated calling framework for your core method CG-MCTS and ablation variants (removing novelty, removing feasibility).
   3. Automated Execution: Loop through each theme and sequentially call all methods (baseline, CG-MCTS, ablation) to generate research ideas.
   4. Incremental Saving: After processing each theme, immediately save all results so far to compare_experiment/experiment_results.json, ensuring that data will not be lost in case of accidental interruption during long runs.

  Important: Next Steps

  Before running the script, please be sure to complete the following steps:

   1. Replace Mock Implementations: To allow the script to run independently, I have included mock implementations of my method's LLMInterface, CG_MCTS, and PaperDatabase. You need to replace these mock implementations with your own real code. The try...except ImportError block in the script is prepared for this purpose. Please ensure your cg_mcts_qwen.py is in the Python environment, and remove or modify that part of the code to correctly import your modules.
   2. Configure API Keys: In the script, find the line llm_interface = LLMInterface(api_key="DUMMY_KEY") and replace "DUMMY_KEY" with your real LLM API key.
   3. Check Paths and Models: The if __name__ == '__main__': section at the bottom of the script contains all file paths and model name (MODEL_NAME) configurations. Please check them carefully and ensure they match your file structure exactly.
   4. Install Dependencies: Make sure you have installed all required Python libraries, such as faiss-cpu, numpy, tqdm.

  After completing the above configurations, you can directly run this script to start all your experiments:
