9/4/26: Dialog with documents: DD's paper

Artificial Intelligence Study Group

Welcome! We meet from 4:00-4:45 p.m. Central Time on Fridays. Anyone can join. Feel free to attend any or all sessions, or ask to be added to the invite list - or removed as we have no wish to send unneeded emails of which we all certainly get too many. 
Contacts: jdberleant@ualr.edu and mgmilanova@ualr.edu

Agenda, Minutes & Status (222nd meeting, Sept. 4, 2026)
  • Today's activity
    • Dialogues with documents.
        • We will continue to use AI to interactively understand DD's paper, experimenting with trying different conversations starting with different judgmental starting points (suggested by EWG). 
    • Read/view something if time allows.
      • ScientistOne: Towards Human-Level Autonomous Research via Chain-of-Evidence. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.26340 
      • 7/17/26: We got up to "Across 75 papers..." in the abstract, aided by https://claude.ai/chat/6973902c-60d0-4988-a14c-19462a5cdb16. We did not evaluate this reading.
      • Anthropic's new "J-lens" reveals a silent workspace inside Claude that mirrors a leading theory of consciousness https://share.google/Zy6eLr76G1XrZUCBz. We have read the title.
      • The Misclassification of Autistic Writing as AI-Generated. Paywalled at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-98420-4_7. See https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EAq0ZjVpwtDPfVcoTZ0PILxyrFP5X6KS/view, p. 89 in doc, 125 in Acrobat. Article got a 4.
  • Let me know of anything you'd like to have evaluated for a fuller reading, viewing or discussion.
  • For future activities
    • Read/view items suggested by attendees. Evaluate some of them, then do one which is highest in full.
    • What if we read from papers authored by people in this group? Then an author would be present to help everyone understand it.
    • Invite paper authors at UALR or anywhere to host a reading session on the abstract and various paragraphs of a paper they published or plan to submit.
    • Any projects that MS students can sign up for? If anyone has an idea for an MS project where the student reports to us for a few minutes each week for discussion and feedback - a student might potentially be recruited! Let me know. 
      • Please suggest a project!
    • Any other announcements?
