arXiv:2604.01452v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scientific discovery is slowed by fragmented literature that requires excessive human effort to gather, analyze, and understand. AI tools, including autonomous summarization and question answering, have been developed to aid in understanding scientific literature. However, these tools lack the structured, multi-step approach necessary for extracting deep insights from scientific literature. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new possibilities for literature analysis, but remain unreliable due to hallucinations and incomplete extraction. We introduce Elhuyar, a multi-agent, human-in-the-loop system that integrates LLMs, structured AI, and human scientists to extract, analyze, and iteratively refine insights from scientific literature. The framework distributes tasks among specialized agents for filtering papers, extracting data, fitting models, and summarizing findings, with human oversight ensuring reliability. The system generates structured reports with extracted data, visualizations, model equations, and text summaries, enabling deeper inquiry through iterative refinement. Deployed in materials science, it analyzed literature on tungsten under helium-ion irradiation, showing experimentally correlated exponential helium bubble growth with irradiation dose and temperature, offering insight for plasma-facing materials (PFMs) in fusion reactors. This demonstrates how AI-assisted literature review can uncover scientific patterns and accelerate discovery.

arXiv:2604.01461v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reducing hallucinations in Large Language Models (LLMs) is essential for improving the accuracy of data extraction from large text corpora. Current methods, like prompt engineering and chain-of-thought prompting, focus on individual documents but fail to consider relationships across a corpus. This paper introduces Peer Context Outlier Detection (P-COD), a novel approach that uses the relationships between documents to improve extraction accuracy. Our application domain is in scientific literature summarization, where papers with similar experiment settings should draw similar conclusions. By comparing extracted data to validated peer information within the corpus, we adjust confidence scores and flag low-confidence results for expert review. High-confidence results, supported by peer validation, are considered reliable. Our experiments demonstrate up to 98% precision in outlier detection across 6 domains of science, demonstrating that our design reduces hallucinations, enhances trust in automated systems, and allows researchers to focus on ambiguous cases, streamlining the data extraction workflows.

arXiv:2604.01907v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Annotated 3D scene data is scarce and expensive to acquire, while abundant unlabeled videos are readily available on the internet. In this paper, we demonstrate that carefully designed data engines can leverage web-curated, unlabeled videos to automatically generate training data, to facilitate end-to-end models in 3D scene understanding alongside human-annotated datasets. We identify and analyze bottlenecks in automated data generation, revealing critical factors that determine the efficiency and effectiveness of learning from unlabeled data. To validate our approach across different perception granularities, we evaluate on three tasks spanning low-level perception, i.e., 3D object detection and instance segmentation, to high-evel reasoning, i.e., 3D spatial Visual Question Answering (VQA) and Vision-Lanugage Navigation (VLN). Models trained on our generated data demonstrate strong zero-shot performance and show further improvement after finetuning. This demonstrates the viability of leveraging readily available web data as a path toward more capable scene understanding systems.
