Are LLMs Ready for Scientific Discovery? A Capability-Oriented Benchmark for AI Scientists

arXiv:2607. 11079v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing benchmarks for scientific data analysis evaluate LLMs primarily on code execution or workflow completion, overlooking that scientific analysis serves to support distinct types of scientific claims: hypothesis exploration, statistical inference, mechanistic explanation, each with different assumptions and validity criteria.
