Iris AI is capable of highlighting new trends and democratize access to scientific research
Iris AI is leveraging AI and the crowd, uniquely combining unsupervised, supervised and reinforcement machine learning to democratize access to science.
Iris AI is an artificial intelligence that will read all of the world's research and help us connect the dots. Initially as a assistant helping innovators navigate the research landscape: give her any scientific text over 500 words and she maps out all related research.
Iris works by reading scientific papers and learning to determine what’s being discussed in the text. The goal is to augment the discovery process by leading researchers to relevant papers and new discoveries as they are published.
In 3-5 years, Iris will be able to respond to specific prompts, finding e.g. the right method. In 10 years, she is a researcher herself, doing Literature Based Discovery - and eventually she can train other AI's in science!
