ScienceWorld: Is your Agent Smarter than a 5th Grader?

Ruoyao Wang, Peter Jansen, Marc-Alexandre Côté et al.

What this work does

Simulates elementary science tasks through interacting objects, simplified physical processes and executable textual actions.

Connection to discovery

A tool-use and experimental-execution baseline before testing novel mechanism discovery.

Evidence

The body compares online action agents and offline demonstration-based learners, and discusses the confound between scientific inference and everyday navigation competence.

Scope and limitations

Many target facts are familiar elementary science. Completing a designed procedure is not automatically the discovery of an unknown law, and simplified simulations constrain transfer.
