Brazilian AI Conference Sees Rise in LLMs, Open Science

A meta-scientific study analyzing eleven years of the Brazilian Conference on Intelligent Systems (BRACIS) reveals trends in AI research within Brazil. The study found that Large Language Model research has significantly increased since 2020, now comprising 19% of papers. Author participation is characterized by a high rate of single-edition contributors, while citations are highly concentrated among a small percentage of papers. The research also highlights a rise in open science practices, such as artifact release and preprint availability on arXiv, with a notable correlation between preprints and higher citation counts, though access to full papers remains limited by paywalls.
