C Nalini , Yam Krishna Poudel 1 1 ( October - December ) Being a collaborative iterative process scientific discovery requires synthesis of large amounts of literature the development of new theories or hypotheses the design of new experiments and extensive validation Most of the existing automated research systems are centralized or singleagent pipelines whose ability is only applicable for parallel exploration knowledge sharing and consensus formation is limited In this paper a Collaborative Swarm Intelligence Framework CSIF for multiagent scientific discovery is proposed where the rapidity and diversity of scientific discovery is accelerated by coordinating and sharing the knowledge of a swarm of specialized and autonomous research agents containing agents for literature search hypothesis generation experimental design data analysis and validation By relying on stigmergy with coordination and weighted consensus it allows emergent collective intelligence while avoiding any centralized bottlenecks as constructed from a swarm architecture Novelty detection rates achieved are 98 accuracy of the hypothesis of 96 consensus quality score of 97 and the hypothesis validation classifier AUC of 096 significantly exceeding scores for singleagent RAGbased and hierarchical multiagent baselines on experimental evaluation on arXiv metadata Semantic Scholar corpora as well as common scientific benchmark datasets Copyright (c) World Journal of Pharmaceutical Seiences.
