A new paper introduces LSR-Synth, a benchmark designed to measure symbolic discovery in AI models by creating novel synthetic scientific tasks. The research investigates whether language models can contribute unique insights beyond traditional search methods when faced with these tasks. Findings suggest that while current tasks are effective for evaluating expression fitting, they are insufficient to identify contributions from language model priors outside a fixed search space, especially when vocabulary coverage is not selectively disrupted.
