I will never read a research paper the same way again. With Gemini 2.0 Live, I can ask "What's this paper about?" "Can you explain this complex equation simply?" "What does this diagram mean?" Research is often intentionally abstruse, but now normal people can read them!
I tried this with ChatGPT, but it had a hard time reading PDFs. And if the research paper was too long, it wouldn’t have enough memory to put everything together. It was best at snippets that I copy-pasted. Maybe it’s gotten better since I last tried it. Maybe Gemini is better. Hope so.
If you read my research papers, you don't need Gemini to translate them into something you understand. I specialized in advanced knowledge explained in simple words. See my research papers at https://mltblog.com/3zsnQ2g It's pretty much the antithesis of papers published in scientific journals, without jeopardizing depth, value, and innovation. Quite the contrary!
The question is when the LLM output starts with “This paper proposes a new approach” does the LLM know that its truly novel or it outputs because somewhere in the article the authors mention that its a novel approach? What if the next question by the user is “Can you please suggest some research articles with a similar approach or a better approach published before this one?” “Research is a mindset emerged out of curiosity. To validate if its truly novel the user should be curious”. Information and Wisdom are poles apart!
Isn't this like watching the summary of a book? It'll give you quick knowledge but you won't be able to connect to the author and understand the intuition?
Nice feature Deedy Das Summarization and explaining a research paper in simple words is an excellent feature and brings more knowledge to the masses, however what if Gemini 2.0 hallucinates and makes up things? Are there any metrics to track the % of hallucination in these models?
That is, if Gemini works and is not stuck doing nothing or in some strange thinking loop where you have to repeatedly ask: "Gemini are you here" "Gemini can you see my screen".
For an even more fun take, you can plug that paper into NotebookLM which will turn it into a Podcast (also powered by Gemini 2.0). The use cases just keep growing! https://notebooklm.google/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAA-fwSseeSGD9-d1Pf7aclh6yZBl2x&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0--6BhCBARIsADYqyL9LM1UXs67gcXQNsneKdb8locbeq0DjrKmhWWBm3Xo67Cw_6LqkzMoaApO1EALw_wcB
You could also do this with the chatgpt, of course.
💯 The million token context is another reason to celebrate this fantastic model.
