Researchers have developed a new method for continual scientific discovery using large language models (LLMs) by incorporating evidence-informed beliefs. This approach addresses the limitation of previous methods that treated LLM "surprisal" as static, whereas human reasoning involves evolving beliefs. The new technique updates LLM priors with evidence from prior discoveries, enabling the computation of non-stationary surprisal. Experiments showed that embedding-based retrieval-augmented generation effectively anticipates future posteriors and identifies spurious rewards, leading to a 30.62% average increase in accumulated non-stationary surprisal across five discovery domains.
