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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Can LLM design high-quality experiments? A Comprehensive and Systematic Benchmark on Autonomous Experimental Design

AI for Research (AI4Research) leverages AI to automate and improve scientific workflows. While experimental design is a critical stage of the research process, prior work has focused primarily on code implementation and execution, overlooking the importance of this stage, and no benchmark exists to evaluate AI's ability to conduct systematic experiment design.

DASyR-LLM: Domain-Aware Symbolic Regression with LLMs for Kinetic Model Discovery

Kinetic model discovery is a central challenge in chemical engineering, as accurate rate expressions are essential for understanding and controlling chemical and biological processes. Symbolic regression (SR) has emerged as a powerful data-driven approach for identifying interpretable kinetic models, but usually operates without domain knowledge, often exploring physicochemically implausible models.
