In my previous blog post, I explored the capabilities of ChatGPT 3.5, testing its skills as a programmer and mathematician’s assistant. The results were mixed, to say the least. While it could handle simple coding tasks with ease, it faltered when faced with more complex mathematical problems and image manipulation tasks. I concluded that while […]
The PyMOL Python API is a useful resource for most people doing research in OPIG, whether focussed on antibodies, small molecule drug design or protein folding. However, the documentation is poorly structured and difficult to interpret without first having understood the structure of the module. In particular, the differences between use of the PyMOL command […]
Disclaimer: I used ChatGPT to improve the writing style of this article, in combination with some personal curation before obtaining a final version.You’ve probably heard it all already, from ChatGPT writing code and doing proofreading for you to a rap battle between OPIG’s Antibodies and Small Molecules groups, and more. Whether you like it or […]
It’s not always easy to live in an Anglophone scientific world when English isn’t your first language. When careers are built upon the ability to communicate ideas clearly and eloquently, struggling to find the right words can be a real hindrance to explain your science in a way that is taken seriously. Contrary to popular […]
With the recent release of ChatGPT, many studies have already been uploaded to biorxiv examining the potential uses of the chatbot’s outputs. One such paper compared ChatGPT-generated scientific abstracts to the original abstracts. Upon seeing the title, I immediately got my hopes up that my abstract-writing days were over. So is this the case?
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours playing with ChatGPT. I know, we have some other recent posts about it. It’s so amazing that I couldn’t resist writing another. Apologies for that. The goal of this post is to determine if I can effectively use ChatGPT as a programmer/mathematician assistant. OK. It was not my original […]
The AI chatbot revolution is here. Last week, OpenAI released ChatGPT, a freely accessible language model fine-tuned for human conversations. The new model is based on InstructGPT, trained especially for following user instructions and with human feedback in the training loop. ChatGPT remembers the previous discussion, admits its mistakes and can even ask for clarification on […]
In our silly little day-to-day lives in over in stats, we forget how accustomed we all are to AI being used in many of the things we do. Going home for the holidays, though, I was reminded that the majority of people (at least, the majority of my family members) don’t actually make most of […]
Some time ago, I needed to find a way to computationally estimate conductance values for every protein frame from several molecular dynamics (MD) trajectories.In a previous post, I wrote about how to clean the resulting instant conductance timeseries from outliers. But, I never described how I generated these timeseries. In this post, I will show […]
Recently, I have become quite interested in how countries have been shaping their national AI strategies or frameworks. Since the launch of ChatGPT, several concerns have been raised about AI safety and how such groundbreaking AI technologies could augment or adversely affect our daily lives. To address the public’s concerns and set standards and practices […]
