Abstract

In Australia, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are managed in a complex and fragmented healthcare system across multiple providers. A data repository that links data sources, and enables advanced analytics and big data technologies, will generate novel insights, and allow development of translational tools that can improve patient care and outcomes. The Cardiac Analytics and Innovation (CardiacAI) project has established a research-ready electronic medical records data resource to enable collaborative and translational cardiovascular research. The CardiacAI data repository prospectively extracts de-identified electronic medical record (EMR) data from two local health districts (LHD) in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. These data are linked with Australian population health data to ascertain longitudinal hospitalisation and death outcomes. The data are stored within a secure, cloud-based storage and analytics platform. The CardiacAI data repository is a not-for-profit data resource that promotes collaboration and responsible sharing of data. The CardiacAI data repository is a resource for Australian healthcare providers, clinicians and researchers seeking to improve cardiovascular care. The project is expanding to include data from stroke hospitalisations and two additional NSW LHDs, and is actively exploring linkage with ECG signal data, medical imaging data and community-based healthcare. The CardiacAI project has the potential to unlock a wealth of novel insights and translational tools that improve secondary prevention and treatment of CVD.

From Funding to Findings (FIND): An Open Database of NSF Awards and Research Outputs

Public funding plays a central role in driving scientific discovery. To better understand the link between research inputs and outputs, we introduce FIND (Funding-Impact NSF Database), an open-access dataset that systematically links NSF grant proposals to their downstream research outputs, including publication metadata and abstracts. The primary contribution of this project is the creation of a large-scale, structured dataset that enables transparency, impact evaluation, and metascience research on the returns to public funding. To illustrate the potential of FIND, we present two proof-of-concept NLP applications. First, we analyze whether the language of grant proposals can predict the subsequent citation impact of funded research. Second, we leverage large language models to extract scientific claims from both proposals and resulting publications, allowing us to measure the extent to which funded projects deliver on their stated goals. Together, these applications highlight the utility of FIND for advancing metascience, informing funding policy, and enabling novel AI-driven analyses of the scientific process.

Geometric Signatures of Conceptual Reorganization: A Counterfactual Embedding Framework for Detecting Scientific Revolutions

We introduce document embedding geometry as a quantitative observable of conceptual reorganization and develop a counterfactual ablation framework for measuring how individual concepts influence the organization of scientific knowledge, providing a quantitative framework for detecting scientific revolutions. The observable is defined by the geometric perturbation induced when removing documents associated with a candidate concept from the embedding space before and after its historical emergence. Statistical validation is performed using five historical case studies spanning physics, mathematics, and machine learning: special relativity, Gödel's incompleteness theorems, the Higgs mechanism, deep learning, and the attention mechanism underlying transformer architectures. Across the historical case studies, the framework identifies measurable geometric signatures associated with conceptual reorganization, while the validation studies expose important limitations arising from document assignment and sparse historical data. These results establish embedding geometry as a medium for quantifying conceptual reorganization, providing a new approach for studying how scientific fields restructure over time.

Toward non-textual representation of social anthropology: Modeling cultures as knowledge graphs

The study examines the emerging field of knowledge representation in the context of the semantic web and linked data, with a focus on knowledge produced within the social sciences - particularly in sociocultural anthropology. It starts from the premise that natural language, especially its textualized form, has long been the primary vehicle for producing and communicating anthropological research. Informed by theoretical approaches from information science, the study explores how computational methods may offer alternative modes of structuring and representing anthropological knowledge. It challenges the dominance of text as the sole representational medium and highlights the potential of semantic modeling to open new epistemological pathways. At the same time, it acknowledges the conceptual and methodological challenges involved in such a transition. This approach shifts emphasis away from metrics and programming, foregrounding processes of conceptualization, semantics, meaning, and reasoning as key to engaging with anthropological knowledge in digital environments.
