## Introduction / Main Floor: AwesomeLit: A Human-AI Collaborative Visualization System for Literature Research and Hypothesis Generation

The research team has launched the AwesomeLit system, which helps researchers—especially novices—conduct literature research efficiently and generate research hypotheses through transparent agent workflows, dynamic query exploration trees, and semantic similarity views.

## Research Motivation

Literature research has various goals: from understanding unfamiliar fields to generating hypotheses for the next research project. For inexperienced researchers, identifying literature gaps and generating feasible hypotheses is crucial yet highly challenging. Existing "in-depth research" tools are available but not designed for this scenario, often yielding suboptimal results. Moreover, the "black box" nature and hallucination issues of large language models often lead to user distrust.

## The AwesomeLit System

The research team proposes **AwesomeLit**—a human-AI collaborative visualization system with three innovative features:

## 1. Transparent and Controllable Agent Workflow

Users can intervene and guide the agent's literature exploration process throughout, instead of passively accepting results.

## 2. Dynamic Query Exploration Tree

Visually displays exploration paths and traceability information, helping users understand how the agent gradually narrows down from broad intentions to specific research topics.

## 3. Semantic Similarity View

Intuitively presents the relationship network among papers, helping to identify research connections and potential gaps.

## User Study

A qualitative study invited several early-career researchers to participate in the evaluation. The results show that AwesomeLit can effectively help users:
- Explore unfamiliar research topics
- Identify promising research directions
- Increase confidence in research results

## Significance and Value

AwesomeLit represents a new paradigm for AI-assisted academic research—not replacing human thinking, but enhancing researchers' literature research capabilities through transparent and interpretable human-AI collaboration.
