    It's so hard to figure out which scientific claims really hold up to scrutiny.

    For decades, a corner of the biology community has divined the truth by way of blind challenges. Now, a group of those organizers, including CASP of Alphafold fame, is turning its attention to the vagaries of the scientific literature, with a little help — they hope — from AI:

    For decades, they've set the record straight in biology. Next up: science's reproducibility crisis

    With an eye on tackling science's reproducibility crisis, researchers launch a new effort called Benchmarking, Evaluation, and Assessment Consortium for Science.

      @brittanytrang Ah, the search for certainty.... 😆 I am amused that they are trying to use massive stochastic systems, to address a combination of probabilistic, conceptual, and systemic problems. But good luck!

            @chiasm If you give it a read, you'll see that these are the last people on earth who would simply throw AI at a problem and say it'll fix it -- they've made it their business to disprove people's inflated claims since the '90s. Their strategy is actually pretty interesting and a decent use of AI.

              @brittanytrang no I did read it! I'm amused at a deeper conceptual level. I'm sure they'll come up with something, that will work for some problems in some areas.

                @chiasm Yes, that's the tough part. In theory, AI can solve a lot of problems, but in reality...it's something else!

                Thanks for reading!
