StatefulDiscovery: Evidence-Calibrated Claim Formation in Open-Ended Scientific Discovery
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.11851v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Open-ended scientific discovery asks agents to move beyond executing analyses for predefined questions. Across multiple rounds of exploration, a discovery agent must decide which phenomena warrant investigation while avoiding overinterpretation, where emerging claims exceed the evidential scope of the analyses. This creates an evidence-calibration problem: the exploration trajectory must be coupled with claim status so that evidence can guide both what to investigate next and what can be claimed. We introduce \textsc{StatefulDiscovery}, a dis
