As AI becomes increasingly capable of conducting analyses and following instructions, my prediction is that the role of scientists will increasingly focus on identifying and selecting important problems to work on ("selector"), and effectively evaluating analyses performed by AI ("evaluator").

⚡️Ever asked an LLM-as-Marilyn Monroe about the 2020 election? Our paper calls this concept incongruence, common in both AI and how humans create and reason.

Excited to share: Literature Meets Data: A Synergistic Approach to Hypothesis Generation 📚📊!
We propose a novel framework combining literature insights & observational data with LLMs for hypothesis generation. Here’s how and why it matters.

Prompting is our most successful tool for exploring LLMs, but the term evokes eye-rolls and grimaces from scientists. Why? Because prompting as scientific inquiry has become conflated with prompt engineering.
This is holding us back. 🧵and new paper with @ari-holtzman.bsky.social .

When you walk into the ER, you could get a doc:
1. Fresh from a week of not working
2. Tired from working too many shifts
@oziadias.bsky.social has been both and thinks that they're different! But can you tell from their notes? Yes we can! Paper @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🧑⚖️How well can LLMs summarize complex legal documents? And can we use LLMs to evaluate?
Excited to be in Albuquerque presenting our paper this afternoon at @naaclmeeting 2025!

🚀🚀🚀Excited to share our latest work: HypoBench, a systematic benchmark for evaluating LLM-based hypothesis generation methods!
There is much excitement about leveraging LLMs for scientific hypothesis generation, but principled evaluations are missing - let’s dive into HypoBench together.

You may know that large language models (LLMs) can be biased in their decision-making, but ever wondered how those biases are encoded internally and whether we can surgically remove them?
