Article Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various domains, including education and research. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques and large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 and BARD have significantly advanced our comprehension and application of AI in these fields. This paper provides an in-depth introduction to AI, NLP, and LLMs, discussing their potential impact on education and research. By exploring the advantages, challenges, and innovative applications of these technologies, this review gives educators, researchers, students, and readers a comprehensive view of how AI could shape educational and research practices in the future, ultimately leading to improved outcomes. Key applications discussed in the field of research include text generation, data analysis and interpretation, literature review, formatting and editing, and peer review. AI applications in academics and education include educational support and constructive feedback, assessment, grading, tailored curricula, personalized career guidance, and mental health support. Addressing the challenges associated with these technologies, such as ethical concerns and algorithmic biases, is essential for maximizing their potential to improve education and research outcomes. Ultimately, the paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discussion about the role of AI in education and research and highlight its potential to lead to better outcomes for students, educators, and researchers.

Background: Subcellular localisation is a determining factor of protein function. Mass spectrometry-based correlation profiling experiments facilitate the classification of protein subcellular localisation on a proteome-wide scale. In turn, static localisations can be compared across conditions to identify differential protein localisation events.

Oral cancer is a major global health burden, ranking sixth in prevalence, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being the most common type. Importantly, OSCC is often diagnosed at late stages, underscoring the need for innovative methods for early detection. The oral microbiome, an active microbial community within the oral cavity, holds promise as a biomarker for the prediction and progression of cancer.

Postoperative aphasia (POA) is a common complication in patients undergoing surgery for language-eloquent lesions. This study aimed to enhance the prediction of POA by leveraging preoperative navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) language mapping and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-based tractography, incorporating deep learning (DL) algorithms. One hundred patients with left-hemispheric lesions were retrospectively enrolled (43 developed postoperative aphasia, as the POA group; 57 did not, as the non-aphasia (NA) group).

In recent AI-driven disease diagnosis, the success of models has depended mainly on extensive data sets and advanced algorithms. However, creating traditional data sets for rare or emerging diseases presents significant challenges. To address this issue, this study introduces a direct-self-attention Wasserstein generative adversarial network (DSAWGAN) designed to improve diagnostic capabilities in infectious diseases with limited data availability.
