Computer science research papers show fastest uptake of AI use in writing, analysis finds
Academy Empower your mind, elevate your skills Researchers analysed the use of large language models in over a million pre-print and published scientific papers between 2020 and 2024, and found the largest, fastest growth in use of the AI systems in computer science papers -- of up to 22 %.Powered by artificial intelligence (AI), large language models are trained on vast amounts of text and can therefore respond to human requests in the natural from Stanford University and other institutes in the US looked at 1,121,912 pre-print papers in the archives 'arXiv' and 'bioRxiv', and published papers across Nature journals from January 2020 to September on how often words commonly used by AI systems appeared in the papers, the team estimated the involvement of a large language model -- ChatGPT in this study -- in modifying content in a research published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour "suggest a steady increase in LLM (large language model) usage, with the largest and fastest growth estimated for computer science papers (up to 22%)."The researchers also estimated a greater reliance on AI systems among pre-print papers in the archive 'bioRxiv' written by authors from regions known to have a lower number of English-language speakers, such as China and continental papers related to mathematics and those published across Nature journals showed a lower evidence of use of AI in modifying content, according to the study team said that shorter papers and authors posting pre-prints more often showed a higher rate of AI use in writing papers, suggesting that researchers trying to produce a higher quantity of writing are more likely to rely on LLMs."These results may be an indicator of the competitive nature of certain research areas and the pressure to publish quickly," the team researchers also looked at a smaller number of papers to understand how scholars disclose use of AI in their inspection of randomly selected 200 computer science papers that were uploaded to the pre-print archive 'arXiv' in February 2024 revealed that "only two out of the 200 papers explicitly disclosed the use of LLMs during paper writing".Future studies looking at disclosure statements might help to understand researchers' motivation for using AI in writing example, policies around disclosing LLM usage in academic writing may still be unclear, or scholars may have other motivations for intentionally avoiding to disclose use of AI, the authors said.A recent study, published in the journal Science, estimated that at least 13% of research abstracts published in 2024 could have taken help from a large language model, as they included more of 'style' words seen to be favoured by these AI from the University of Tubingen, Germany, who analysed more than 15 million biomedical papers published from 2010 to 2024, said that AI models have caused a drastic shift in the vocabulary used in academic writing.

How To Use Feynman Technique To Learn Anything Better
Learning is something we do throughout our lives. It is not just important for students but also for working professionals. However, many people find learning difficult when they do not use the right method. One method that makes learning easier is called the Feynman Technique. It helps you understand hard topics by breaking them into smaller and simpler parts. The technique is named after Richard Feynman, a famous physicist who won a Nobel Prize. He was well known for explaining complex ideas in a way that anyone could understand. The Feynman Technique includes four simple steps, as per the University of Colorado Boulder. These are Study, Teach, Fill the Gaps, and Simplify. Understanding the Feynman Technique Step 1: Study Choose the topic or skill you want to learn. Start reading or watching videos about it. Then write down what you understand using your own words. Try to break the topic into smaller parts. For example, if you are learning English grammar tenses, begin by understanding each tense. Read about the past, present, and future tenses and how they are used. Step 2: Educate Now try to teach the topic to someone else. You can explain it to a friend, a younger sibling, or even pretend to teach an imaginary person. Teaching helps you notice what you understand well and what you do not. For instance, try explaining how the present perfect tense works. While teaching, you may realise you are not sure about the rules or examples. This shows where you need more practice. Step 3: Fill the Gaps Go back to your study materials and focus on the parts you did not understand clearly. Look for answers and examples that help you fix those weak areas. For illustration, if you were confused between past perfect and past continuous, read more and find simple examples to understand the difference. Step 4: Simplify Take everything you have learned and explain it again, but this time using very simple words. Imagine you are teaching a child or someone who has never heard of the topic before. Use common examples and easy language. For a case, try explaining all English tenses to a beginner using something simple like playing basketball. Talk about how you played yesterday, how you are playing today, and how you will play tomorrow. Why This Technique Works This method does not just help you remember things. It helps you truly understand them. Whether you are learning grammar, basketball, or computer programming, the Feynman Technique can help you learn deeply and clearly.
