Honored to be quoted alongside my advisor @jevinwest in the latest @Nature news article by @dcastelvecchi! It’s exciting to contribute to the conversation on @SakanaAILabs’s AI scientist and automating science in general. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/d4158… A full commentary is coming soon. Sharing one of the preliminary results related to popularity bias in cited references with AI generated papers disproportionately citing highly cited papers (~26000 citations per paper on average) in comparison to human written papers (~7500 citations) — an observation that was recently made by @jimmykoppel as well. #AcademicTwitter #Science @SciencePlusAI #ScienceOfAIMediatedScience
My latest: @SakanaAILabs's AI Scientist is the latest development in automating science — although so far it can only do research in machine learning itself nature.com/articles/d4158…

Ironic that Ioannidis led a study on extremely productive authors, which "has become worryingly common across scientific fields." From my count he has published more than 150 papers in the last 2 years. That is about a paper every 5 days. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Silicon Valley hype oozes from this video (eg, ‘understanding of science’, ‘reasoning capabilities’, ‘reads 200k papers’) but the re-graphing tool is pretty nice. If it can do that consistently and reliably, worth trying out. youtu.be/sPiOP_CB54A?si… via @YouTube

🧐Can language models generate new scientific ideas? Introducing contextualized literature-based discovery (C-LBD): 1. (L)LMs are given specific contexts/motivations + retrieved *inspirations* from papers💡 2. Goal is to generate text with novel hypotheses. New preprint: 🧵⬇️
