GAPRS: Mapping Scientific Knowledge with Claim Dependency Graphs

Image
Introduction Most scientific papers are underread, peer review capacity is limited, and much innovation never reaches broad audiences. Current methods of scientific discovery are manual and slow. GAPRS transforms papers into interactive epistemic graphs where both humans and LLMs can reason over claims, assumptions, invalidators, and dependencies , accelerating discovery and surfacing hidden insights. Section 1: Core Idea At the heart of GAPRS is the concept of claims as nodes , with edges representing support, dependency, or extrapolation between them. Here’s an example using Attention Is All You Need (Vaswani et al., 2017): Claim Statement Confidence C1 Self-Attention achieves state-of-the-art performance on sequence modeling tasks High C2 Transformer architecture enables more efficient parallelization than RNNs High C3 Self-Attention allows modeling of long-range dependencies better than RNNs Medium C4 Positional encoding is sufficient to provide sequence order information Mediu...

How to Improve Coding for Technical Interviews and Online Assessments

Image
In this blog post, I share some things I am learning after reflecting on my past experiences that can help myself and others to improve coding for technical interviews and online assessments. Coding for technical interviews and online assessments is different to coding for university or coding on the job. In a technical interview, you need to meet the bottom line while emphasising how you communicate your thought process in a way that is easy for the interviewer to understand. In an online coding assessment, there is no interviewer, so you are essentially communicating your idea to yourself while meeting the bottom line. Though, in some cases, you may have to discuss design decisions in the next stage of the hiring process. Therefore, it makes sense to write clear, clean and concise code or as my mantra once was, "Nice documentation and clean code that works".   Objective:  Develop ability to solve unseen technical interview and online assessment coding questions qui...
