Kinda weird that I need different prompts to GPT5 to get it to proofread my manuscript properly. Each iteration + prompt yields different mistakes. And I'm looking for basic mistakes (e.g., grammar/spelling level)!
This is a super common usecase, i'm surprised at the variation

1/ Our paper “Protein Language Models Expose Viral Immune Mimicry” is now published in Viruses!
We show that protein Language Models can identify viral proteins, and those that fool our immune system.
DOI: 10.3390/v17091199.

The person who says "oh I read Philosopher's Stone and it just didn't click" is probably telling the truth.
The person who says "I KNEW JK ROWLING WAS SCUM THE MOMENT SHE CALLED VERNON FAT" absolutely wrote a Library of Alexandria's worth of Harry/Draco fanfiction.

InterFeat: An Automated Pipeline for Finding Interesting Hypotheses in Structured Biomedical Data
tl;dr: It's an automated method using AI/LLMs to find interesting features in data. Doctors reviewed them on different diseases and the UK BioBank.
