Scientists at the University of Lausanne have used AI for the first time to massively speed up computer calculations and simulate the last ice cover in the Alps. Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models. This innovative method opens the door to countless new simulations and predictions linked to climate upheavals. The research is published in Nature Communications.
Successful uptake of new technology is a matter of emotions — and with 4 in 5 companies saying they’re failing to capitalise on its potential, managers need to know how to deal with them, say researchers from Aalto University.
Summary
- BioChatter is an open-source Python framework for employing large language models (LLMs) in biomedical research.
- BioChatter can support the creation of dedicated LLM-driven solutions for biomedical use cases.
- AI solutions like those built using BioChatter can streamline workflows for non-computational researchers, advancing areas such as personalised medicine and drug discovery.
