10/30/26: project concept discussions

Artificial Intelligence Study Group

Welcome! We meet from 4:00-4:45 p.m. Central Time on Fridays by Zoom. Anyone can join. Attend any or all sessions. 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.

Agenda, Minutes & Status (230th meeting, Oct. 30, 2026)
  • Today: 
    • 10/30: 
      • Informal project discussion: MO on AI for job applications, including (1) Retrieval-Augmented Generation, and (2) Tool-Augmented Language Models
      • Informal project discussion: SL on AI to simulate biological experiments and reduce the cost of repeated trials 
  •  Future plans
    • Other 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.
    • Any other announcements?
