80: Cites are not endorsements (with Sean Rife)

Listen Later

We chat with Sean Rife, who the co-founder of scite.ai, a start-up that combines natural language processing with a network of experts to evaluate the veracity of scientific work.

Here's what we cover and links for a few things we mention

  • What is scite.ai?
  • The Winnower
  • Why is there no good (and free) plagiarism detector?
  • Grobid - A machine learning library for extracting, parsing and re-structuring PDFs
  • Meta-analysis can prop up flawed bodies of literature
  • The "Too meta" XKCD cartoon
  • What’s the end game for scite?
  • The 80,000 hours game
  • Spooner, a utility that allows authors of scientific publications to make their work available to the general public (probably) without violating publishing agreements
