Hephaestus: Data Reuse for Accelerating Scientific Discovery
Summary: Introduces Hephaestus, a platform that runs "virtual experiments" on reused observational datasets to simulate randomized controlled trials and formalize empirical research protocols. Aggregates and visualizes experiment outcomes to reveal consistent effects versus spurious correlations. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
