arXiv:2604.04074v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: LLM-based reviewing systems typically take only the manuscript as input, leaving literature and code-based claims hard to verify. We present FactReview, a system that extracts review-relevant claims, grounds them in related work, and, when code is available, executes released artifacts under a fixed repair budget to audit empirical claims. Across 35 ML papers and 463 benchmark major claims, FactReview covers 84% of claims. Under an evidence-aware rubric, its reviews score 4.86/5 in overall quality, 0.7 above DeepReview-v2 and 1.5 above
The proliferation of LLMs and the increasing complexity of AI research necessitate more robust and verifiable peer review mechanisms, which current systems lack.
FactReview introduces an automated method for evidence-grounded and execution-based claim verification in AI research, significantly improving the integrity and reproducibility of scientific findings.
Peer review in AI research can become more objective and reliable through automated grounding of claims in literature and execution of code, reducing human bias and improving empirical validation.

The quality and trustworthiness of published AI research increase due to higher verification standards.
Accelerated progress in AI, as validated research findings become more consistently reproducible and act as firmer foundations.
The development of similar automated verification systems extends to other scientific domains facing reproducibility crises, altering the global scientific publication landscape.
