arXiv:2510.19698 2026 Under Review

In this work we try to construct explanable rules for scientific discoveries using LLMs. Specifically, we are developing a unified framework integrating LLMs with probabilistic modeling through four stages: rule generation via LLM, weight learning through logistic regression, iterative refinement, and evaluation, achieving higher rule quality and better rule combination effects.
