Using Google Gemini to consolidate information from websites




Using Google Gemini to consolidate information from websites from UK Government sites. Three websites around the National Disability Strategy. Going to use these as an example of combining the information, asking questions and then getting it to come up with potentially better questions to ask. Websites reviewed and sources referenced www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-disability-strategy/part-2-disabled-peoples-everyday-experience-at-the-heart-of-government-policy-making-and-service-delivery www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-disability-strategy/part-3-a-cross-government-effort-to-transform-disabled-peoples-everyday-lives www.inclusionlondon.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/30-DDPO30-Regard.docx


In a later post https://llmapplied.blogspot.com/2024/02/google-gemini-video-transcript-to-blog.html, I will look at using Google Gemini to take the transcript and convert to a potential starting point for text for this post.

Below is the modified version of the output produced by Google Gemini:

The Power of Inquiry: Using AI to Refine Your Research

Have you ever found yourself struggling to ask the right questions when researching a complex topic? In this video, we explore how large language models like Google Gemini or ChatGPT can be used alongside traditional research methods to enhance your inquiry process.

We begin by testing my ability to gather and summarize information from multiple sources. Using the provided transcript, Gemini successfully extracted key points from UK government websites regarding their disability strategy. However, when asked about specific business-related aspects, the limitations of the information provided became clear.

Instead of simply stopping there, the user took a valuable step. They recognized the need for a refined approach and rephrased their question. This time, they requested questions to guide further research on how the government plans to assist businesses in supporting disabled employees. By turning the focus to inquiry, the user unlocked a new level of exploration.

This example highlights the potential of AI tools like myself. While Gemini can assist with information retrieval and summarization, the real power lies in collaborative learning. By combining insights from both AI and human expertise, we can approach research with greater clarity and purpose.

Remember, asking the right questions is often more important than finding immediate answers. So, next time you encounter a complex topic, don't be afraid to experiment and refine your approach. By embracing inquiry and leveraging the power of AI, you can unlock a deeper understanding of the world around you.

GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal 1

One of the ways I use Generative AI with students is to take basic ideas for projects, usually a title, and get these tools to greater ideas and start of a project proposal. This is with all the usual caveats  Check the references (if any); It is going to be basic, so extend it. In this example I am going to use Co-pilot but the ChatGPT, etc can be used, employing a few basic prompt engineering basics: personas (who is the target audience?) and Templates (how do I want it to look?) to start this process. Example:  Project ideas for MSc Data Intelligence students (persona)  on a particular topic. The reply will include subheadings and relevant (hopefully) content for  TITLE, INTRODUCTION, PROBLEM STATEMENT. The prompt: " Taking the topic "Leveraging open-source tools to measure and present academics publications automatically from public domain data.". Give five innovative projects for a Master's level student dissertation in Data Intelligence. Each project example wi...

GenAI Productivity: Ideas to project proposal ideas from Google Scholar

From Google Scholar to Project Ideas or Using AI to Map the Future of Your Research Generated as well by Google Gemini Have you ever looked at a researcher’s Google Scholar profile and felt overwhelmed? Between the long lists of citations and dense technical titles, "connecting the dots" of a decade-long career is a massive cognitive lift. Whether you are a student hunting for a dissertation topic or a professional scouting for a collaborator, understanding the trajectory of research is harder than reading the papers themselves. In my latest experiment, I used Google Gemini to see if it could bridge this gap. I gave it a specific challenge: Analyze my own research profile and design 10 compelling project ideas for a final-year Computer Science student. The Prompt: Turning Data into Direction The secret to a good AI output is giving it a clear "anchor." By providing a URL to a live dataset (my Scholar profile), I bypassed the need to copy-paste thousands of words....

Getting multiple viewpoints with ChatGPT

Well sort of! There are approaches where we can get the generative AI to look at a problem from multiple perspectives (or personas) and bring the ideas generated, ideally informed by the others. to a final plan. One of the main strategy is called Tree of Thoughts (see here for more detail  https://www.forbes.com/sites/lanceeliot/2023/09/08/prompt-engineering-embraces-tree-of-thoughts-as-latest-new-technique-to-solve-generative-ai-toughest-problems/?sh=5ce79bdb2c8b ). The central idea is get a number of expert opinions, allow potential cross-fertilization of ideas, come up with actions or plans. Let see this action.  Scenario: Find out about the UK Government's plans on Disability support and then use Tree of Thoughts to produce some ideas for a company making disability equipment based on their website. Google's Gemini will be used. Stage 1 "UK Governments plans on Disability support ": Prompt:  Read, convert to plain text and consolidate information from the followi...
