Evaluating Inquiry Learning in LLM-Based Agents: Hypothesizing, Reasoning, and Exploration
arXiv:2610.21604v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific inquiry involves iterative cycles of exploration, hypothesis generation, and reasoning over observations to uncover relationships in complex systems. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in several components of this process, including inductive reasoning, hypothesis generation, and data analysis. However, prior work typically evaluates these abilities in isolation, leaving open how models integrate them ac…
