ScienceJudge: Pattern Perturbation Augmentation for Sentence-Level Scientific Claim Verification

ScienceJudge introduces Pattern Perturbation Augmentation (PPA) to generate hard negative examples for sentence‑level scientific claim verification by modeling reporting errors as faithfulness‑breaking transformations. PPA applies these patterns to supported claims, creating controlled hard negatives and expanding coverage through pattern‑level, operation‑level, and cross‑domain augmentation. The resulting ScienceJudge system, which ensembles PPA‑trained vision‑language predictors with instruction‑guided LLM predictors, achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance, improving the average score from 0.8124 to 0.8692 and ranking first on the NLPCC 2026 Task 10 Track 1 leaderboard.
