Springer Nature cracks down on AI research fraud using AI tools

Delicious.

Science publisher Springer Nature has developed two new AI tools to detect fake research and duplicate images in scientific papers, helping to protect the integrity of published studies.

The growing number of cases of fake research is already putting a strain on the scientific publishing industry, according to Springer Nature. Following a pilot phase, the publisher is now rolling out two AI tools to identify papers with AI-generated fake content and problematic images — both red flags for research integrity issues.

The first tool, called “Geppetto,” detects AI-generated content, a telltale sign of “paper mills” producing fake research papers. The tool divides the paper into sections and uses its own algorithms to check the consistency of the text in each section.

Self-assembling and disassembling swarm molecular robots via DNA molecular controller

Researchers from Tohoku University and Kyoto University have successfully developed a DNA-based molecular controller that autonomously directs the assembly and disassembly of molecular robots. This pioneering technology marks a significant step towards advanced autonomous molecular systems with potential applications in medicine and nanotechnology.

Details of the breakthrough were published in the journal Science Advances (“Autonomous assembly and disassembly of gliding molecular robots regulated by a DNA-based molecular controller”).

“Our newly developed molecular controller, composed of artificially designed DNA molecules and enzymes, coexists with molecular robots and controls them by outputting specific DNA molecules,” points out Shin-ichiro M. Nomura, an associate professor at Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Engineering and co-author of the study. “This allows the molecular robots to self-assemble and disassemble automatically, without the need for external manipulation.”

How to opt out of Meta’s AI training

Internet data scraping is one of the biggest fights in AI right now. Tech companies argue that anything on the public internet is fair game, but they are facing a barrage of lawsuits over their data practices and copyright. It will likely take years until clear rules are in place.

In the meantime, they are running out of training data to build even bigger, more powerful models, and to Meta, your posts are a gold mine.

If you’re uncomfortable with having Meta use your personal information and intellectual property to train its AI models in perpetuity, consider opting out. Although Meta does not guarantee it will allow this, it does say it will “review objection requests in accordance with relevant data protection laws.”

Big data and deep learning for RNA biology

This review spotlights the revolutionary role of deep learning (DL) in expanding the understanding of RNA is a fundamental biomolecule that shapes and regulates diverse phenotypes including human diseases. Understanding the principles governing the functions of RNA is a key objective of current biology. Recently, big data produced via high-throughput experiments have been utilized to develop DL models aimed at analyzing and predicting RNA-related biological processes. This review emphasizes the role of public databases in providing these big data for training DL models. The authors introduce core DL concepts necessary for training models from the biological data. By extensively examining DL studies in various fields of RNA biology, the authors suggest how to better leverage DL for revealing novel biological knowledge and demonstrate the potential of DL in deciphering the complex biology of RNA.

This summary was initially drafted using artificial intelligence, then revised and fact-checked by the author.

Deep model predictive control of gene expression in thousands of single cells

Gene expression is inherently dynamic, due to complex regulation and stochastic biochemical events. Here the authors train a deep neural network to predict and dynamically control gene expression in thousands of individual bacteria in real-time which they then apply to control antibiotic resistance and study single-cell survival dynamics.

Researchers wonder what if you just put a robot in the driver’s seat instead of automating the car?

A team of roboticists at the University of Tokyo has taken a new approach to autonomous driving—instead of automating the entire car, simply put a robot in the driver’s seat. The group built a robot capable of driving a car and tested it on a real-world track. They also published a paper describing their efforts on the arXiv preprint server.

Global 5G Evolution

Elon Musk says Tesla could make 100 million Optimus robots a year, costing $10k-20k each, to do everything from babysitting to working in factories, leading to the population of humanoid robots exceeding that of humans.
