Darwin Gödel Machine: A Self-Improving AI Agent That Evolves Code Using Foundation Models and Real-World Benchmarks
Introduction: The Limits of Traditional AI Systems Conventional artificial intelligence systems are limited by their static architectures. These models operate within fixed, human-engineered frameworks and cannot autonomously improve after deployment. In contrast, human scientific progress is iterative and cumulative—each advancement builds upon prior insights. Taking inspiration from this model of continuous refinement, AI researchers are… →

Lymphatic mapping Of Oropharyngeal Cancer (LOOC): protocol for a phase II surgical imaging trial to evaluate contralateral drainage and occult metastasis in oropharyngeal cancer
INTRODUCTION: Treatment of the node negative contralateral neck in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) remains debated, with no clear consensus. Prophylactic contralateral neck treatment (either surgically or via irradiation) is generally recommended when the estimated risk of occult nodal metastasis is >20%. Unfortunately, patients undergoing bilateral neck treatment often require long-term supportive care for swallowing dysfunction. Reducing… →
