arXiv:2607. 28990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model agents have shown promising capabilities in data-driven scientific discovery tasks, where an agent interacts with an execution environment and produces a statistical claim.
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:2603. 01421v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While large language models accelerate scientific discovery, existing agents face severe limitations in adaptability, domain generalization, and multimodal scalability, often struggling to autonomously process raw, domain-specific experimental data.
D3‑Gym is the first automatically constructed dataset that provides verifiable environments for scientific data‑driven discovery, comprising 565 tasks from 239 real scientific repositories across four disciplines. Each task includes a natural‑language instruction, an executable environment with pre‑installed dependencies, dataset previews, a reference solution, and an automatically synthesized evaluation script that achieves 87.5% agreement with human‑annotated gold standards. Training on trajectories sampled from D3‑Gym consistently improves Qwen3 models on ScienceAgentBench, and the platform also serves as a testbed for studying agentic optimization loops such as Autoresearch on real scientific workflows.
arXiv:2606. 31229v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ideation plays a pivotal role in scientific discovery.
arXiv:2606. 12736v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents are increasingly being developed to accelerate scientific discovery, yet their practical capabilities in real research settings remain poorly understood.
arXiv:2606. 13662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM-based agents have shown increasing potential in automating scientific discovery.
Scientific datasets are commonly organized as hierarchical repositories containing heterogeneous and interdependent files, making their inspection, integration, and analysis labor-intensive and reliant on domain expertise. Although large language model (LLM) agents have advanced substantially in planning, reasoning, and tool use, existing research has largely overlooked their ability to interact with real scientific data assets through executable environments.
arXiv:2607. 20926v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific research involves complex information-seeking and reasoning workflows across heterogeneous sources.
arXiv:2608. 10366v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world data science involves long-horizon workflows that span data wrangling, exploration, modeling, visualization, and validation, and require coordinated use of tools such as notebooks, IDEs, terminals, browsers, and databases within real operating environments.
arXiv:2608. 19625v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific data are increasingly used by AI agents, yet existing dataset representations provide limited support for autonomous discovery, interpretation, and invocation.
The paper introduces the Scientific Data Skill (SciDSK), an agent‑ready representation that packages dataset‑specific knowledge and operational guidance as a reusable skill. SciDSK integrates dataset descriptions, scientific context, file organization, usage procedures, quality checks, and provenance information while keeping the data in its original repository. The authors define a structured specification, build a construction pipeline, and launch the Scientific Data Skill Bank to publish SciDSK resources across six scientific disciplines, demonstrating improved agent‑driven dataset discovery and interpretation through evaluation benchmarks.
The article introduces AgentActionBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate agent-based experiment reproduction across machine learning and AI4Science papers. It employs an MCP-based Action Recorder to capture agents’ behavior during reproduction and assesses the resulting traces against paper-specific rubrics. The benchmark includes 150 papers, with a human-annotated subset and model-assisted augmentation expanding it to over 10,000 rubric items, revealing that current systems face execution bottlenecks but that model-generated rubrics correlate strongly with human judgments.
