If you are interested in any aspect of #ResearchSoftware, including #RSEng, #funding, #publishing, #training, #metascience, #policy, etc., please consider submitting a proposal to and/or attending #IRSC26 (immediately before #RSECon26 in Sheffield, UK, in Sept). We're trying to bring all elements of the #ResearchSoftware community together

“Instead of paying humans to join focus groups and complete surveys, #Auru uses thousands of #AI agents, or bots, to simulate human responses. It feeds #demographic and psychographic information into its models to create human profiles that match clients’ needs, and the results those bots spit out are being used for product #development, #pricing, identifying new customers and political #polling.”
Researchers have warned about the inaccuracies of treating #LLMs as human proxies (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10462-025-11297-5), but I wouldn’t be surprised #languageModels beat #qualitative interpretation of non-representative focus groups.

Research collaborations often start out vague, and participants may have different expectations about issues like workload, authorship, publication form, and open science. We are developing a toolkit where project initiators can state how they foresee the collaboration, and potential collaborators can evaluate if the project is right for them.
Please try it out and give feedback!

Research collaboration planning toolkit Version 0.24 Instructions Welcome to the research collaboration planning toolkit. The current document is a template for filling out how the collaboration for a research project is planned. The idea is for the project initiators to first suggest how the col...

My minimal claim is that, contra Schweiger, it is very hard to definitely claim any scheme a waste of time and money, since the full costs and benefits of awarding funding in a particular way (e.g. by competition) are difficult to account for

Yet another example of how so-called "#AI" entrenches existing problems in academic research.
