Discovery Lab
A collaboration between Elsevier, the University of Amsterdam, and VU University Amsterdam.
Discovery Lab is a collaboration between the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam and Elsevier. The lab’s philosophy is to drive scientific discovery using machine intelligence. The researchers study and develop technology, infrastructure and methods to support the current transformation of science. They focus on data-driven activity, where scientists increasingly rely on intelligent tooling for searching and reading scientific literature, to formulate hypotheses, and to interpret data.
Research projects
Knowledge graph: The lab seeks to advance the ability to construct, use and study large-scale knowledge graphs that integrate knowledge across heterogeneous scientific content and data.
Reinforcement learning: The lab investigates the use of reinforcement learning to work with structured multi-modal information such as user context, knowledge graphs, or text as inputs.
Question Answering: The lab focusses on challenging scenarios that require question answering models to reason, gather, and synthesize disjoint pieces of information, within context, to generate an answer.
