Applications of AI in Academic Libraries and Archives: Machine learning from and for open research

Prof. Petr Knoth is the Head of CORE and a Professor of Data Science at The Open University in the UK. He leads the Big Scientific Data and Text Analytics Group (BSDTag), which develops new technologies powered by AI in the area of machine processing of scientific information. The group has experience with using AI in a wide range of application areas including detecting citation intent, rapid systematic reviews, research recommender systems, deduplication, document classification and information extraction. In light of the recent advancements in large language models (LLMs), Petr's group recently introduced CORE-GPT, a question-answering system that utilizes ChatGPT to generate responses grounded in scientific literature together with references to relevant content. In this virtual presentation, Petr will talk about a range of AI activities, use cases, and projects his team (BSDTag) has been involved in.
