ELSC Seminar Series

The explosion of scholarly knowledge presents tremendous opportunities for accelerating research across the sciences. In this talk, I will present recent work toward helping researchers and clinicians make use of knowledge embedded in the literature. The talk will highlight AI/NLP methods that help discover new directions and solutions to problems, generate hypotheses, make predictions and decisions, and build connections across different areas. I will present important challenges on the road toward building machines that can create new scientific knowledge.
