AI-Human Publication: Redefining Language and Neurodegeneration Through PPA

BCHSI affiliated faculty Pedro Pinheiro-Chagas and co-authors Yu-Wen Cheng, Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini, Boon Lead Tee publish their first AI-Human paper "Redefining language and neurodegeneration through PPA: Clinical phenotypes, network vulnerability, and global research directions" Higher Brain Function Research, 45(3), 159–175. Japan Society for Higher Brain Function. 
 

This article was generated using the AI Scientific Writer workflow (https://github.com/pinheirochagas/AI_scientific_writer), an agentic generative AI system designed to convert Recorded Talks and Presentation Slides into a scientific manuscript (in this case an audio-recorded talk by Maria Luisa Gorno-Tempini and power-point slides from a talk by Boon Lead Tee). Following preprocessing of the source material, the system retrieves relevant literature, scaffolds citations, and refines the text through iterative review. Human co-authors provide oversight at every stage to ensure accuracy.

The next goal of this project is to develop it into a “living paper”: each week, AI agents will search the web (PubMed and preprint websites) for new findings on primary progressive aphasia, summarize potential updates, and notify co-authors for review. Approved updates will then be automatically integrated via GitHub pull requests. All the code (e.g. python scrips,  MCP servers) and all the tracing (e.g., model responses, function calls, reasoning tokens, etc will be open source).
