Abstract
ShadowMiner v1 is a system that automatically discovers research problems and generates hypotheses from AI papers. It is a nine-stage pipeline. It structures documents into a knowledge graph and finds graph gaps in it - structural blind spots in research. These graph gaps are included in the LLM generation prompt. Each generated hypothesis is then verified by checking whether it is already covered by existing research, scoring its quality, and checking that the facts it relies on are accurately drawn from its sources. This report does not propose a new generation or evaluation technique. It describes our experience of implementing and applying ideas from prior work, and measuring whether each one actually contributed.
