Leveraging Large Language Models to Build and Execute Computational Workflows
It addresses the challenge of workflow automation for scientific researchers, but appears incremental as it builds on existing LLM capabilities.
This paper tackles the problem of automating complex scientific workflows by leveraging large language models (LLMs) to generate and execute code, eliminating traditional coding methods, with initial findings from integrating Phyloflow with OpenAI's API.
The recent development of large language models (LLMs) with multi-billion parameters, coupled with the creation of user-friendly application programming interfaces (APIs), has paved the way for automatically generating and executing code in response to straightforward human queries. This paper explores how these emerging capabilities can be harnessed to facilitate complex scientific workflows, eliminating the need for traditional coding methods. We present initial findings from our attempt to integrate Phyloflow with OpenAI's function-calling API, and outline a strategy for developing a comprehensive workflow management system based on these concepts.
