6. The AI Neuroscientist: An Interactive Agentic Interface for Neuroimaging Analysis
arXiv CS.AI
arXiv:2609.25254v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Analyzing neuroimaging data requires specialized coding and statistical expertise, which limits accessibility for researchers without computational backgrounds. We present the AI Neuroscientist, a language agent for interactive data exploration. The s…
7. Potential for Enhanced Learning in Machine Learning Classes by Using Wiki LLM Indexing
arXiv CS.AI
arXiv:2609.25303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed as course-specific tutors, but their usefulness depends on grounding in vetted instructional materials that are often revised mid-semester. Our prior work built a multimodal retrieval-augmented generatio…
