ERA: A tree-search-based scientific coding tool for computational discovery
By
praccu
Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
ERA (Empirical Research Assistance) is a versatile tool for scientific coding that can search scientific literature, write code, explore solutions, combine techniques, and evaluate results. It uses a tree search approach to optimize its output by considering thousands of options, helping researchers accelerate computational discovery.
