This allows for the system to understand the nuances of the language used in the newspaper at a deeper level compared to just positive or negative words.<\/p>\n<p>The next technique, Sentprop, is a way to measure the overall sentiment of the newspaper or other text documents. This method uses a continuous sentiment measurement based on the Word2Vec results rather than the baseline word-count techniques.<\/p>\n<h3>Why was it not possible previously?<\/h3>\n<p>Previous work in this field used very basic techniques of counting preset positive or negative words, therefore not capturing an accurate sentiment analysis.<\/p>\n<p>With the very recent improvements in language models in accuracy and speed it is now possible to process millions of documents with contextually aware sentiment.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it applicable to you?<\/h3>\n<p>With the improvements in the AI field, sentiment analysis has become a simple task that can process millions of documents and present accurate insights to the information provided.<\/p>\n<p>This technique can be used on any set of text documents, not just news articles, and therefore can be very applicable to you as a researcher.<\/p>\n<h3>Similar research areas<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Survey responses<\/li>\n<li>Patient feedback in the healthcare system<\/li>\n<li>Social media discussions in many fields<\/li>\n<li>Gauging public opinion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},{"id":"case-study-two","title":"Autonomous agents at Carnegie Mellon University","content":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/research\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/carnegie-mellon-e1709008695979.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In December 2023, researchers created Coscientist, an autonomous AI agent capable of researching, designing, executing, and analysing chemical research experiments. Researchers can simply give the Coscientist a prompt, such as \u201cperform multiple Suzuki reactions\u201d, and it will begin planning experiments. Coscientist is capable of browsing the web, interacting directly with lab machinery, and can even execute Python code to analyse results.<\/p>\n<p>Autonomous agents such as Coscientist represent enormous potential benefits for researchers in all fields, who can now develop their own agents to have additional researchers who work 24\/7 and are able to handle experiments from the initial planning to helping present final reports.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-023-06792-0\">Read their research paper<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>How did they do it?<\/h3>\n<p>Coscientist is not a singular AI, but rather a collection of AI agents who interface with each other to research and execute experiments.<\/p>\n<p>The core of Coscientist is the PLANNER module, a language model (GPT-4) which serves as the brain of Co-scientist, deciding which other agents to call.<\/p>\n<p>There are 4 primary commands it can execute:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>GOOGLE \u2013 Uses a web searcher language model.<\/li>\n<li>DOCUMENTATION \u2013 How to interact with lab equipment.<\/li>\n<li>PYTHON \u2013 Executes python code for analysis.<\/li>\n<li>EXPERIMENT \u2013 Execute experiments on physical lab equipment over the internet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why was it not possible previously?<\/h3>\n<p>Recent breakthroughs with large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT allow an AI to understand plain English text and follow complicated instructions.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers no longer need to be technical to work alongside AI and can simply instruct it in plain English.<\/p>\n<h3>How is this applicable to you?<\/h3>\n<p>The LLMs used in this project are not specifically trained for chemical research and a similar approach could be used for nearly any research field.<\/p>\n<p>Autonomous agents are capable of planning, researching, and analysing results that can be beneficial to nearly every research field.<\/p>\n<h3>Similar research

a series of handwritten documents.<\/p>\n<h3>Why was it not possible previously?<\/h3>\n<p>Large language models are fairly new advances in the scientific community and therefore handling unstructured

turn this unstructured text into a structured digital format that we can use.<\/p>\n<h3>How is this applicable to you?<\/h3>\n<p>Being able to convert large amounts of handwritten text to a digital
