Drowning in Research
Reading? AI Could Help
Artificial intelligence that reads journal
articles and highlights key findings could help researchers stay on top of the
latest research. But the technology isn’t ready for prime time.
Summarizing
the findings of a complex and technical research paper into plain English is no
easy feat, but a recent development by scientists at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology could change that.
Using a form
of artificial intelligence called a neural network, scientists at MIT and the
Qatar Computing Research Institute at Hamad Bin Khalifa University have created
technology that can read scientific papers and generate easy-to-read summaries
that are just one or two sentences long.
The research, recently published in the
journal Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics,
could potentially be used by journalists to help communicate complex research
to the public, though the authors say they aren't going to be putting journalists
out of a job any time soon. (Phew.)
