A new study by Prof. Yaniv Dover and Valeria Lerman from Hebrew University suggests the answer is both reassuring and deeply unsettling. The study is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A Mathematical Physical and Engineering Science.
A new study explores how artificial intelligence can not only better predict new scientific discoveries but can also usefully expand them. The researchers, who published their work in Nature Human Behaviour, built models that could predict human inferences and the scientists who will make them.
When it comes to estimating how good we are at something, research consistently shows that we tend to rate ourselves as slightly better than average. This tendency is stronger in people who perform low on cognitive tests. It's known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect (DKE): The worse people are at something,…
