Electronic lab notebooks: can they replace paper?

Electronic lab notebooks: can they replace paper?

Despite the increasingly digital nature of society there are some areas of research that remain firmly rooted in the past; in this case the laboratory notebook, the last remaining paper component of an experiment. Countless electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs) have been created in an attempt to digitise record keeping processes in the lab, but none of them have become a 'key player' in the EL...

Electronic paper - can it be real ?

Some people have used the phrase 'electronic paper' to suggest that electronic information displays may replace the printed page. Progress towards the ideal of electronic paper is reviewed along several dimensions: the technologies, such as the display surface, the appearance, such as the page layout, and the function, such as the styles of interaction, that are currently available and may beco...

Can Paraconsistency Replace Non-Monotonicity?

In this position paper we reconstruct and evaluate three arguments by Jean-Yves Béziau put forward to show that paraconsistent logics may replace non-monotonic logics in the analysis of situations what the latter were created for, namely updating of databases by increment of information. As originally put forward they might seem too colorful or unserious and easily dismissible, but they really ...

Can Active Memory Replace Attention?

Several mechanisms to focus attention of a neural network on selected parts of its input or memory have been used successfully in deep learning models in recent years. Attention has improved image classification, image captioning, speech recognition, generative models, and learning algorithmic tasks, but it had probably the largest impact on neural machine translation. Recently, similar improve...
