arXiv:2604. 11305v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conformal selection (CS) uses calibration data to identify test inputs whose unobserved outcomes are likely to satisfy a pre-specified minimal quality requirement, while controlling the false discovery rate (FDR).

arXiv:2602. 06448v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM)-based scientific agents have accelerated scientific discovery, yet they often suffer from significant inefficiencies due to adherence to fixed initial priors.

The paper investigates how closed‑loop autonomous discovery systems can develop false‑science induction when physical objects and measurements are incorrectly paired. It demonstrates that such misbinding causes neural surrogates to learn spurious associations, diverting experimental effort toward low‑performing regions in both green fluorescent protein fitness and materials band‑gap prediction loops. The study shows that the coherence of these errors—not just their frequency—drives budget misallocation and proposes monitoring strategies to detect and quarantine corrupted hypothesis axes.
