Our diploid aware genomic language model is out! 1/6) The genomes we train AI models on do not exist. Most genomic language models read a single haploid sequence, but human genomes are diploid.

Thank you for doing this! You are tackling a problem without an immediate solution, so things will not be perfect right away, and there will always be criticism. I find the reviews very helpful and also the scoring. Please keep going!

Exactly! I feel at least @odedrechavi.bsky.social is doing something for our broken system. To me, this is also about starting a conversation and thinking what all is possible, rather than it being the final solution. If one cannot criticise constructively, one shouldn’t criticise at all.

Say what you want about AI-review @qedscience.bsky.social, but at least it's focusing on whether you provide sound answers to the questions you ask & solid evidence for the claims you make, instead of judging you for questions you didn't ask or lack of evidence for claims you didn't make...

Absolutely! All the preprints from last year were scored. Just run any paper and see.

Dr. Rechavi launched an A.I. tool, and we need to consider it. I haven't yet used it, and I don't like A.I. in some forms (generative A.I., or other plagiarism dependent forms). But I do think we need to test this too. What do you think?

I am happy that many of you are checking your “QED Score!”🖖 There’s lots of excitement, and naturally also concerns, that I want to address (see thread, I have 5 quick points to make):

Fascinating! From what I can see (searching “neuroscience”, “cognitive”, “computational” and for what I regard as the most important work happening in this era), this effort reflects a strong molecular/cellular/technological (as opposed to systems/computational/conceptual) bias.

This is so intriguing — can AI review papers? QED was used to review preprints en masse and the results were benchmarked against eventual publication journal rank. When there were discrepancies, experts sided with QED!

If you were rich, but not super rich, would you fund your own lab? How would it change what you study? Feels like a ghost dog type of mental exercise.

I hope Al is still alive, no one knows what happened to him. He missed 7 consecutive faculty meetings and didn’t show up to a single departmental seminar. But I’m not mad, he’s chasing his dream, and personally I hope he made it to the 1%. He deserves it.
