[nexa] Can LLMs Generate Novel Research Ideas? A Large-Scale Human Study with 100+ NLP Researchers

«By recruiting over 100 NLP researchers to write novel ideas and blind reviews of both LLM and human ideas, we obtain the first statistically significant conclusion on current LLM capabilities for research ideation: we find LLM-generated ideas are judged as more novel (p < 0.05) than human expert ideas while being judged slightly weaker on feasibility.» https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.04109v1
