ChatSR: MLLM for Scientific Formula Discovery
Researchers propose ChatSR, a multimodal large language model designed for scientific data understanding. Unlike existing MLLMs focused on perceptual modalities like images and video, ChatSR treats scientific data as a new modality, using specialized encoders and alignment mechanisms to map it into a representation space for LLMs. This enables the model to grasp structural characteristics and regularities in scientific data, leveraging domain knowledge and reasoning abilities to emulate a human scientist. The model operates based on user-specified prior constraints and preferences.
