Continuous Knowledge Metabolism: Generating Scientific Hypotheses from Evolving Literature

arXiv:2604.12243v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific hypothesis generation requires tracking how knowledge evolves, not just what is currently known. We introduce Continuous Knowledge Metabolism (CKM), a framework that processes scientific literature through sliding time windows and incrementally updates a structured knowledge base as new findings arrive. We present CKM-Lite, an efficient variant that achieves strong predictive coverage through incremental accumulation, outperforming bat
