You know how I read new papers back in 1994? By going to the library, finding one in bi-annual publication list and requesting it through the University system. And it better be necessary because the uni had to pay both the catalogue and each reprint of an article. The access is most certainly easier today.
replyThis was a lot because of the technological restrictions of that time.
replyAlso be aware that the world wide web was actually conceived by Tim Berners-Lee for the exchange of information between scientists.
People are working on using LLMs to regenerate experimental data from the text of journal papers.
replySurely you understand that this is impossible in the general case?
replyI did try asking one of the PIs whether they were doing it to demonstrate that it doesn't work in order to get paper authors to provide their real data but didn't get a reply.
replyWill be going to a conference at the end of the month where there will be several presentations on the use of LLMs for this.
