Element AI offers platform to assist COVID-19 response efforts
As new COVID-19 facts emerge, staying up-to-date with the latest published papers and developments will be key to critical breakthroughs.
To assist clinical researchers, scientific researchers, public health authorities and frontline workers that are working towards finding a cure to mitigate this pandemic, Element AI have developed a web platform that connects structured and unstructured datasets that enables users to query using a natural language semantic search model.
In its current beta form, the platform is configured to the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) which is a dataset of papers and articles related to COVID-19 research. Leveraging a semantic search model, users can search with keywords, phrases and even copy entire paragraphs of text into the search bar, yielding articles that contain content that is semantically similar—helping to uncover potential patterns across research papers that may not otherwise have been perceptible.
Element AI is looking for users and organisations from various groups to test the platform and suggest other data sets and features that could best fit their needs.
The groups Element AI is looking to work with include:
-
Clinical researchers who need to incorporate many phenomena to make a rich model of the pandemic and its impacts.
-
Government, Public Safety and Public Health authorities looking to find best practices across different countries.
-
Pharmaceutical companies working on new therapies or vaccine trials, as well as identifying existing therapies that could provide immediate help.
-
Scientific researchers and data scientists who are working on novel ways to connect research across the body of knowledge already available for COVID-19.
