Title: AI Technology for AI Scientists
Abstract:
As the general capabilities of AI systems are developing, AI scientists are now confronted with one question: how should they themselves use AI for their work? In this talk, I'll present my current research aimed at providing some answers. Specifically, I'll describe progress on the use of AI for common tasks in scientific work, such as the reviewing of scientific papers, the forecasting of future events through judgemental reasoning, and the generation of scientific hypotheses from unstructured data.
