PaperQA2 is a package for doing high-accuracy retrieval augmented generation (RAG) on PDFs or text files, with a focus on the scientific literature. See our recent 2024 paper to see examples of PaperQA2's superhuman performance in scientific tasks like question answering, summarization, and contradiction detection. In this example we take a folder of research paper PDFs, magically get their metadata - including citation counts and a retraction check, then parse and cache PDFs into a full-text search index, and finally answer the user question with an LLM agent. Question: Has anyone designed neural networks that compute with proteins or DNA? The claim that neural networks have been designed to compute with DNA is supported by multiple sources. The work by Qian, Winfree, and Bruck demonstrates the use of DNA strand displacement cascades to construct neural network components, such as artificial neurons and associative memories, using a DNA-based system (Qian2011Neural pages 1-2, Qian2011
