SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates structured research plans in a strict JSON format from topic prompts, ensuring clear hypotheses, experiments, and metrics.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Strict JSON outputs: Always produce a complete plan with the required fields: hypothesis, questions, experiments, metrics, outline, section_briefs, keywords, and domain.
  • Section briefs: Provide detailed, technically grounded briefs for each paper section (including equations, algorithms, and architectural details for computational studies or experimental design specifics for behavioral studies).
  • End-to-end workflow: From topic input to testable plan including ablations and manipulation checks to guide research cycles.

Quick Start

Provide a strict JSON research plan for a given topic by supplying the topic string to the ARAS Research Planner.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a structured research plan from a topic prompt?▼

To generate a structured research plan from a topic prompt, you provide a topic string to extract a strict JSON object containing defined hypotheses, experiments, metrics, and an outline. This automated research planning approach ensures clear hypothesis validation and testable experimental design.

What is included in a strict JSON research plan for experimental design?▼

A strict JSON research plan includes keys for hypothesis, questions, experiments, metrics, outline, section_briefs, keywords, and domain. These fields provide detailed technical briefs for each paper section, covering equations, algorithms, and ablation study specifics to guide research cycles.

Can I use this automated research planning approach for computer science systems?▼

Yes, automated research planning works for computer science systems by generating technically grounded section briefs. It outputs a JSON plan detailing architectural details, algorithms, and specific metrics required for rigorous hypothesis validation and ablation studies in computational studies.

Does this research planner support ablation studies and manipulation checks?▼

Yes, the research planner supports ablation studies and manipulation checks by including them within the generated experiments and metrics fields. This ensures the final JSON plan provides an end-to-end workflow from topic input to a fully testable experimental design.

What is the best way to outline a research paper using a JSON plan?▼

The best way to outline a research paper using a JSON plan is to follow the generated outline and section_briefs fields. These provide technically grounded briefs for each section, ensuring your research planning includes detailed equations, algorithms, and experimental design specifics.

How do I define metrics and hypotheses for automated research planning?▼

You define metrics and hypotheses for automated research planning by inputting your topic string, which the system processes to output a strict JSON object. This object explicitly separates your testable hypothesis, experimental questions, and validation metrics into dedicated JSON keys.
