Artificial intelligence for science: The easy and hard problems
A suite of impressive scientific discoveries have been driven by recent advances in artificial intelligence. These almost all result from training flexible algorithms to solve difficult optimization problems specified in advance by teams of domain scientists and engineers with access to large amounts of data. Although extremely useful, this kind of problem solving only corresponds to one part of science - the "easy problem." The other part of scientific research is coming up with the problem itself - the "hard problem." Solving the hard problem is beyond the capacities of current algorithms for scientific discovery because it requires continual conceptual revision based on poorly defined constraints. We can make progress on understanding how humans solve the hard problem by studying the cognitive science of scientists, and then use the results to design new computational agents that automatically infer and update their scientific paradigms.

Quantum Artificial Intelligence for the Science of Climate Change
Climate change has become one of the biggest global problems increasingly compromising the Earth's habitability. Recent developments such as the extraordinary heat waves in California & Canada, and the devastating floods…
Interpretable Geoscience Artificial Intelligence (XGeoS-AI): Application to Demystify Image Recognition
As Earth science enters the era of big data, artificial intelligence (AI) not only offers great potential for solving geoscience problems, but also plays a critical role in accelerating the understanding of the complex, …
Computed Tomography (CT)GeoAI in Social Science
GeoAI, or geospatial artificial intelligence, is an exciting new area that leverages artificial intelligence (AI), geospatial big data, and massive computing power to solve problems with high automation and intelligence.…
Learning to Solve Hard Problems in RL for LLMs by Never Giving Up
We demonstrate that training LLMs with RL does not improve performance equally across a dataset. RL shows large improvements on easy problems that an LLM is already good at solving, but small improvements on hard problem…
Three fundamental problems in risk modeling on big data: an information theory view
Since Claude Shannon founded Information Theory, information theory has widely fostered other scientific fields, such as statistics, artificial intelligence, biology, behavioral science, neuroscience, economics, and fina…
