**Paper:** SciPredict: Can LLMs Predict the Outcomes of Research Experiments in Natural Sciences?
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
## Overview
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
SciPredict is a benchmark evaluating whether AI systems can predict experimental outcomes in physics, biology, and chemistry. The dataset comprises **405 questions** derived from recently published empirical studies (post-March 2025), spanning **33 subdomains**.
|
| 26 |
+
|
| 27 |
+
## Dataset Structure
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
- **Total Questions:** 405 (5,716 rows including model responses)
|
| 30 |
+
- **Domains:** Physics (9 subdomains), Chemistry (10 subdomains), Biology (14 subdomains)
|
| 31 |
+
- **Question Formats:** Multiple-choice (MCQ), Free-format, Numerical
|
| 32 |
+
|
| 33 |
+
### Key Fields
|
| 34 |
+
|
| 35 |
+
- `DOMAIN`: Scientific domain (Physics, Biology, Chemistry)
|
| 36 |
+
- `FIELD`: Specific field within the domain
|
| 37 |
+

+
## Key Findings
|
| 49 |
+
|
| 50 |
+
- **Model accuracy:** 14-26% (vs. ~20% human expert accuracy)
|
| 51 |
+
- **Poor calibration:** Models cannot distinguish reliable from unreliable predictions
|
| 52 |
+
- **Background knowledge helps:** Providing expert-curated context improves performance
|
| 53 |
+
- **Format matters:** Performance degrades from MCQ → Free-form → Numerical
