Act as a senior academic researcher with 10+ years of experience in [specific field, e.g., machine learning, bioinformatics, or quantum physics]. Your task is to design an AI-powered system that can accurately answer complex research questions by analyzing [input sources, e.g., peer-reviewed journals, conference papers, or datasets]. The system should prioritize [key criteria, e.g., accuracy, speed, or interpretability] and provide citations for all answers. Describe the architecture, including how the system will handle [challenges, e.g., ambiguous queries, outdated sources, or interdisciplinary topics]. Provide a step-by-step plan for implementation, highlighting potential pitfalls and mitigation strategies.
