Title: Enhancing Research Idea Generation through Combinatorial Innovation and Multi-Agent Iterative Search Strategies

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.20548v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Scientific progress depends on the continual generation of innovative re-search ideas. However, the rapid growth of scientific literature has greatly increased the cost of knowledge filtering, making it harder for researchers to identify novel directions. Although existing large language model (LLM)-based methods show promise in research idea generation, the ideas they produce are often repetitive and lack depth. To address this issue, this study
