Tom Hope - Harnessing Scientific Literature for Boosting Discovery and Innovation
With millions of scientific papers coming out every year, researchers are forced to allocate their attention to increasingly narrow areas, creating isolated “research bubbles” that limit knowledge discovery. This fragmentation of science slows down progress and prevents the formation of cross-domain links that catalyze breakthroughs. Toward addressing these large-scale challenges for the future of science, my work develops new paradigms for searching, recommending and discovering scholarly knowledge.
