Probing Scientific Feasibility in Large Language Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mohammadi-2026-experiments-or-outcomes-probing-scientific/)** *(2026)* LLMs are increasingly used in research pipelines, but it is unclear how well they judge whether a scientific claim is feasible, meaning whether it fits existing knowledge and can be tested experimentally. 3. **[IMRNNs: An Efficient Method for Interpretable Dense Retrieval via Embedding Modulation](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/saxena-2026-imrnns-efficient-method-interpretable-dense/)** *(2026)* Dense retrievers in RAG pipelines encode queries and documents into fixed vectors on their own. As a result, a document's representation cannot change depending on the query, and users cannot see why a document was ranked highly. The authors present IMRNNs, a lightweight add-on that works over a frozen encoder.… ## All works 4 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 3 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[NeuroSymbolic AI for Legal AI-TRISM: Trustworthy, Reliable, Interpretable, Safe Models ↗](https://doi.org/10.1002/9781394302406.ch14) arXiv:2606.15646 · no summary yet**Deepa Tilwani et al.*2026 · 1 citation* 2. **[Beyond Memorization: Testing LLM Reasoning on Unseen Theory of Computation Tasks](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shelat-2026-beyond-memorization-testing-llm-reasoning/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Shlok Shelat, Jay Raval, Souvik Roy, et al.*2026* 3. **[Experiments or Outcomes?
