Alterlab Hypothesis Gen
Skill AktivPart of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite. Structured hypothesis formulation from observations. Use when you have experimental observations or data and need to formulate testable hypotheses with predictions, propose mechanisms, and design experiments to test them. Follows scientific method framework. For open-ended ideation use scientific-brainstorming; for automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets use hypogenic.
To enable researchers to systematically develop robust, testable scientific hypotheses from observations and data, grounded in existing literature and designed for rigorous experimental validation.
Funktionen
- Structured hypothesis formulation from observations
- Integration with literature search strategies
- Design of experiments to test hypotheses
- Generation of testable predictions
- Mandatory inclusion of AI-generated schematics
Anwendungsfälle
- When developing hypotheses from experimental observations or preliminary data
- When designing experiments to test specific scientific questions
- When exploring competing explanations for phenomena
- When formulating quantitative predictions for research
Nicht-Ziele
- Open-ended ideation or brainstorming without structure
- Automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets (use Hypogenic skill instead)
- Generating raw scientific data or performing experiments directly

99Structured hypothesis formulation from observations. Use when you have experimental observations or data and need to formulate testable hypotheses with predictions, propose mechanisms, and design experiments to test them. Follows scientific method framework. For open-ended ideation use scientific-brainstorming; for automated LLM-driven hypothesis testing on datasets use hypogenic.
ML Paper Writing
98Write publication-ready ML/AI papers for NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, AAAI, COLM. Use when drafting papers from research repos, structuring arguments, verifying citations, or preparing camera-ready submissions. For systems venues (OSDI, NSDI, ASPLOS, SOSP), use systems-paper-writing instead.
Hypogenic
98Automated LLM-driven hypothesis generation and testing on tabular datasets. Use when you want to systematically explore hypotheses about patterns in empirical data (e.g., deception detection, content analysis). Combines literature insights with data-driven hypothesis testing. For manual hypothesis formulation use hypothesis-generation; for creative ideation use scientific-brainstorming.

Alterlab Scientific Writing
100Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite. Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process with (1) section outlines with key points using research-lookup then (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.
