CauSciBench: Evaluating LLM Causal Inference for Scientific Research

ICML 2026poster

Identifying and estimating causal relationships from data is an important component of the scientific research process because it enables researchers to understand how variables affect one another. While large language models (LLMs) show potential for assisting research workflows, their ability to p…

Position: LLM for Physics Research Requires Domain-Specialized Training and Tooling

ICML 2026poster

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly advancing across diverse domains, yet their application in theoretical physics remains inadequate. While current models show competence in mathematical reasoning and code generation, we identify critical gaps in physical intuition, constraint satisfaction, an…

Position: Multi-Agent Systems Should Prioritize Concurrency Control

ICML 2026poster

LLM-based multi-agent systems (MAS) promise scalable collaboration, yet adding agents often *reduces* reliability. This position paper argues that many MAS failures are fundamentally **concurrency control problems**: agents concurrently read and write shared state, and long LLM inference windows amp…

Position: Safe Models Do Not Guarantee Safe Societies: The Case for Sociopolitical Risk

ICML 2026spotlight

Sociopolitical AI risks are threats to collective self-determination: a society's capacity to articulate its interests and realize them through institutions. We argue that sociopolitical AI risks emerge when general-purpose AI systems are integrated into society in ways that disproportionately ampli…
