Tobias Welte, mein Mentor und Chef als Klinikdirektor der Klinik für Pneumologie und Infektiologie an der MHH, ist gestern verstorben. Sein Verlust hinterlässt eine große Lücke und er wird sehr fehlen.

Wohl das Stärkste, was ich von deutschen Politikern je gehört habe. Jeder Satz hallt nach. Robert Habeck ist in diesen für Deutschland entscheidenden Tagen der Anker, den das Land braucht. Leben wir „Nie wieder!“ - oder behaupten wir es nur gelegentlich?

How well can #GPT4 provide scientific feedback on research papers? We study this Q in our new work https://t.co/XJxwaecqy6

We created a pipeline using GPT4 to read 1000s papers (from #Nature, #ICLR, etc.) and generate feedback (eg suggestions for improvement). Then we compare with human expert reviews.
👍 Most authors found GPT4 generated feedback helpful*
👍 >50% of points raised by GPT4 also raised by >=1 human reviewer.
👍 Overlap between GPT4 and human feedback similar to overlap between 2 human reviewers.
👎 GPT4 can struggle with in-depth critique of study methods; sometimes more generic.

Takeaway: high-quality human feedback still necessary; #LLM could help authors improve early drafts before official peer review**.

Work of a great team led by @liang_weixin @Zhang_Yu_hui @CaoHancheng 👏

*Our survey was opt-in and could have selection bias.
**Reviewers should still engage w/ papers independently w/o relying on LLM.

"Congratulations to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman on the Nobel Prize! Karikó's work embodies the scientific motto: Never give up on your ideas. However, it might also serve as an indication of the potential that gender equality in research support could hold. #Karikó #Weissman

Katalin Kariko, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Drew Weissman for their work that led to Covid vaccines, emerged as a hero of the pandemic.

Her ideas about mRNA were seen as unorthodox. They were also prescient.

It is important to establish legal requirements for the inclusion of ChatGPT in scientific publications. However, the benefits should be weighed against the potential risks of misuse. It is equally important to prevent stigmatization of its use.
