Experiments or Outcomes? Probing Scientific Feasibility in Large Language Models (2026.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Scientific feasibility assessment asks whether a claim aligns with established knowledge and whether experimental evidence could support or refute it. |
| Approach: | They frame scientific feasibility assessment as a diagnostic reasoning task . given a hypothesis, a model predicts feasible or infeasible and justifies its decision . they evaluate large language models under controlled knowledge conditions . |
| Outcome: | The results show that providing outcome evidence is more reliable than providing experiment descriptions. |
