FactReview: Evidence-Grounded Peer Review with Execution-Based Claim Verification

arXiv:2604. 04074v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language model (LLM)-based reviewing systems typically assess manuscripts in isolation, leaving literature- and code-dependent claims difficult to verify.

Redesigning and Auditing Deep Research Writing for Faithful Reports

The paper introduces CLAIMPROBE, a claim-level audit tool that breaks down deep-research reports into individual claims and evaluates them for hallucination, misattribution, citation hygiene, and necessary-fact recall against retrieved evidence. Using CLAIMPROBE, the authors show that even high-scoring deep-research pipelines can omit key evidence and misattribute claims. They also propose CLAIMWRITER, a hierarchical claim-based writer that extracts source facts, maps them to an outline, and drafts sections from a source-linked claim representation, which reduces hallucination by 2.6 to 4.5 times and improves necessary-fact recall by 1.2 to 1.7 times while preserving overall report quality and enabling efficient localized revisions.

More Than Mimicking Reviewers: Evaluating LLMs for Pre-Submission Peer Review

The paper introduces an author-facing large language model (LLM) system that generates a broad set of atomic concerns about a manuscript and compresses them into a concise report, aiming to provide early peer‑review feedback. Evaluations on 3,398 ICLR 2026 submissions show that the system covers 44.9% of historical reviewer issues on a diagnostic set, rising to 78.7% strict coverage and 84.9% seriousness‑weighted coverage after deduplication and refill, using 3.6× more requests and 5.2× more tokens. Ablation studies reveal that representative selection and matcher sensitivity are key factors limiting the compression quality.

ClaimReceipt: Verifying Evidence Sufficiency and Coverage in Agent Evaluations

The paper introduces ClaimReceipt, a specification and verifier that checks whether a claim in an agent evaluation can be recomputed from retained evidence (sufficiency) and whether the evidence covers the entire experiment set (coverage). Using the CR‑2 verifier on 1,392 historical records, the authors demonstrate accurate reproduction of audit verdicts, non‑redundant field groups, and zero false positives on semantic faults. In a prospective CR‑3 run, the system correctly flags missing receipts and preserves coverage when private evidence is withheld, while adding minimal overhead to inference time and transaction size.

AtomCite: Verification and Correction of Supplied Page-Level Citations in Multi-Page Documents

AtomCite is an agentic framework that verifies and corrects page‑level citations in multi‑page documents by parsing answers into claims, checking each claim against the cited page image, and applying a deterministic repair policy. The authors introduce DocCite, the first benchmark for this task, built on MP‑DocVQA and DUDE, containing 928 injected instances and 1,909 verified natural errors. Across Gemini, Claude, and GPT models, AtomCite achieves about 93% verification accuracy and improves citation precision from 34% to 87‑90%, while also enhancing hallucination detection in open‑source models.
