Dear Community,

let me cordially invite you to the following  online talk on Wed 23.07.2025, from 11:00 to 12:00 MESZ

Title: Using ORKG Ask for search and exploration of scientific articles

ORKG Ask is an open-source scholarly search and exploration system supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI), making it possible to find relevant articles across more than 75 million items. With Ask, researchers are able to find scholarly literature by asking specific research questions. A summary answers the research question based on the most relevant literature. Furthermore, the research question is answered for each listed article. In addition, key insights from research articles are automatically extracted. Finally, powerful filtering options, including semantic concepts, make it possible to narrow down the search and find articles researchers are looking for. In this presentation we will discuss the individual features of the ORKG Ask, focusing on how Ask can be used when doing research, while also mentioning the limitations and challenges when using AI for finding scholarly literature.
