About this paper

Orestis Oikonomou, Bogdan Raonic

The authors test whether choosing numerical summaries changes a verifier’s equation-discovery verdict on simulated trajectories. In one-dimensional cases, maximizing the public score wrongly rejects the library in 1,500 in-library episodes; in a 900-episode PDEBench transfer, it makes 69 false identifications. A fixed fine view answers all 900 correctly, but evidence is limited to simulated data and tested views.
