DeepSciVerify: Verifying Scientific Claim--Citation Alignment via LLM-Driven Evidence Escalation
arXiv:2605.27710v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Misalignment between claims and their cited evidence is a common failure mode in reports generated by large language models, limiting their reliability in scientific and other high-stakes settings. We present DeepSciVerify, a two-stage pipeline for scientific claim-citation verification that combines abstract-level reasoning with selective escalation to passage-level evidence. The system first verifies claims using the abstract and defers uncertain cases, retrieving and analyzing full-text passages only when necessary. This design leverages compl
The proliferation of LLMs in content generation, particularly in scientific contexts, necessitates robust verification mechanisms to combat misaligned claims and citations, which this research addresses.
This development addresses a critical reliability bottleneck for AI in high-stakes fields like science, improving trust and operational utility of LLMs for research and knowledge synthesis.
The ability to programmatically verify scientific claims and citations introduces a new layer of quality control for AI-generated reports and potentially accelerates research validation processes.
