THE AI ANGLE
Detecting unsupported citations and identifying experimental protocolsNew York University researchers built two web-based AI tools to improve scientific workflows. Hallucination Nerd evaluates whether cited sources actually back up the claims made in a paper. Protocol Nerd guides researchers to relevant experimental methods by asking clarifying questions.
