With a tool like this, you could imagine an end-to-end service for restoring and modernizing old scientific books and papers: digitization, cleanup, LaTeX reformatting, collaborative or volunteer-driven workflows, OCR (like Mathpix), and side-by-side comparison with the original. That would be useful.
- vessenes 8mo agoDon’t forget replication!
- olivia-banks 8mo agoI'm curious how you think AI would aide in this.
- noitpmeder 8mo agoReplicate this <slop> Ok! Here's <more slop>
- olivia-banks 8mo agoI don't think you understand what replication means in this context.
- NateEag 8mo agoI think they do, and you missed some biting, insightful commentary on using LLMs for scientific research.
- vessenes 8mo agoTao’s doing a lot of related work in mathematics, so I can say that first of all literature search is a clearly valuable function frontier models offer. Past that, A frontier LLM can do a lot of critiquing, a good amount of experiment design, a check on statistical significance/power claims, kibitz on methodology..likely suggest experiments to verify or disprove. These all seem pretty useful functions to provide to a group of scientists to me.
