arXiv:2602. 02905v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Autonomous agents powered by large language models (LLMs) promise to accelerate scientific discovery end-to-end, but rigorously evaluating their capacity for verifiable discovery remains a central challenge.
arXiv:2607. 28631v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI Scientist systems capable of autonomous research have the potential to significantly accelerate scientific discovery.
The paper introduces SGHA, a fully automated system that discovers research problems by structuring scientific literature into evidence-linked objects and a typed evidence graph. SGHA operates entirely on a local 9B open‑weight language model, avoiding proprietary frontier‑model APIs, and outputs traceable research‑problem families with assumptions, objectives, success criteria, and ambiguities. Comparative experiments in five machine‑learning domains show that SGHA’s corpus‑first, evidence‑constrained approach yields inspectable research‑problem formulation without relying on external models.

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.
arXiv:2607. 14178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in Large Language Models have fueled autonomous AI agents capable of tackling complex scientific tasks, yet existing automated research systems remain predominantly focused on empirically driven domains with quantitative benchmarks, leaving theory-driven discovery, particularly in mathematically grounded disciplines requiring rigorous proofs and synthesis of domain knowledge, largely underexplored.
