The following quote says it all: “Just as electricity transformed almost everything 100 years ago, today I actually have a hard time thinking of an industry that I don’t…
(10 Dec 2020) Escalating computing power, expanding data sets, and algorithms of unprecedented sophistication have led to a massive increase in the number of journal and conference papers referring to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years. The Nature Index AI supplement draws on Nature Index data and the larger Dimensions from Digital Science database to analyse the…
The unlikely marriage of two major artificial intelligence approaches has given rise to a new hybrid called neurosymbolic AI. It’s taking baby steps toward reasoning like humans and might one day take the wheel in self-driving cars. (14 Oct 2020, feed from Knowable Magazine) A few years ago, scientists learned something remarkable about…
(3 Sept 2020) IBM has announced on its blog page the development of an AI/cloud-based chemistry lab named RoboRXN. Its purpose is to help chemists develop new materials in a faster and more efficient way than the current trial-and-error process. For thousands of years, humans have devised new materials by combining other raw materials, quite often through the…
(20 Mar 2020) While there’s plenty of information out there on artificial intelligence, it’s not always easy to distinguish fact from fiction or find explanations that are easy to understand. That’s why we (Oxford Internet Institute) have teamed up with Google to create The A to Z of AI. It’s a series of simple, bite-sized…
(17 Dec 2019) To help students and other users understand artificial intelligence in libraries, the University of Rhode Island opened the first AI lab in any campus library in 2018, while the University of California, Irvine has “ANTswers” library chatbot. Read the full story here on how libraries are using AI to enhance user experience.…
(1 Nov 2019) Today, UNSILO has released the results of a survey on AI usage in academic publishing. How is it used? What factors impede its adoption? More than 3,000 new academic journal articles are published every day, and yet many of the tools for processing content through the academic workflow are frequently very manually…
(26 Sep 2019) UNSILO and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) this week confirmed a multi-year partnership using UNSILO AI tools. The partnership, which was successfully trialled last year, is to improve content discovery and collection-building of thousands of reports, papers and data available on the OECD’s iLibrary publishing platform, using UNSILO’s artificial…
(16 Sep 2019) Cambridge University Press, one of the world’s largest and most prestigious academic publishers, and UNSILO, Denmark-based AI company, today signed an agreement by which UNSILO will use machine-learning tools to identify related content across around one million journal articles and book chapters from the vast Cambridge corpus. UNSILO applies machine learning and…
(19 Sep 2019) The latest issue of Research Library Issues (RLI) opens a conversation about the ethical implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the context of knowledge production, dissemination, and preservation. The table of contents with links to the articles follows: What Do Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ethics of AI Mean in the Context of Research Libraries? Mary Lee Kennedy…
