Bookmarked Elicit.org
A while ago I mentioned Research Rabbit here as a tool to find research papers, based on the ones already in my collection (e.g. through syncing with Zotero). Last week I created an account at Elicit. It’s a natural language processing based algorithm to find relevant papers for you based on a specific research question you give it to work with (although it can also take your own collection of papers as a starting point). My first attempt after creating an account yielded very interesting suggestions. Will certainly try this out more, as a tool assisting literature review.
I found Elicit because Maggie Appleton’s feed told me she’s joining the company, Ought, that created Elicit.
Elicit is a research assistant using language models like GPT-3 to automate parts of researchers’ workflows. Currently, the main workflow in Elicit is Literature Review. If you ask a question, Elicit will show relevant papers and summaries of key information about those papers in an easy-to-use table.
@ton Can you use either of those to find actual scientific research, not the crap that’s pedalled by drug companies?
