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:2606. 04579v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Process Reward Models (PRMs) have achieved remarkable success in mathematical reasoning, their application in complex scientific domains-such as biology, chemistry, and physics remains largely unexplored.
The paper introduces VERA-RL, a reinforcement‑learning framework for proactive scientific error verification in academic papers. It builds on a Reason–Verify–Scan workflow and presents VERA‑13K, a 12,900‑sample dataset with 4,300 matched reasoning chains covering six error categories across natural‑science domains. The authors also define fine‑grained rewards for reasoning completeness, evidence alignment, and error precision, and show that training Qwen3‑VL‑8B with VERA‑RL improves verifiable reasoning to levels comparable with flagship multimodal large language models.
Scientific knowledge graphs organize entities and relations extracted from scientific literature, but they remain inherently incomplete. Missing typed links in such graphs can therefore represent plau...
