Scientific Leadership Identification and Characterization

SLIC AI is an exascale ML tool ready to analyze and extract unique information from various text documents, such as, scientific publications, e-mails, reports, and their metadata. SLIC AI has also an interactive regime, allowing human (domain expert) on the loop, for a better accuracy and specificity. SLIC AI has the following capabilities:

  • performs robust unsupervised learning (it does not require training or labeled data) of arbitrary text corpus and extract the topics and subtopics in a hierarchical manner, while considering the semantic of the text.
  • uses a LANL patent to determine the number of topics, which is vital for explainability.
  • is an HPC tool that can analyze exascale data (sparse or dense) with a unique scaling on heterogenous CPU/GPUs clusters.
  • can build unique and specific corpora and knowledge graphs through SMEs interactions human on the loop).
  • can rank authors/institutions (based on their research on a specific topic), using their network interactions - e.g., co-authoring, co-citations data, etc.
  • can determines the roles of the authors, such as, brain, working bee, mediator, and others, based on graph centrality.
  • can build and analyze scientific ecosystems of a) country, or b) institution, or c) group of authors.
  • can build a temporal, topic specific, authors profile, which includes their social scientific interactions (such as, citation and co-authors networks), as well as the evolution of their professional affiliations.
  • can determine changes/evolution of a specific technology trend of interest, related to a country, or institution, or a group of authors.
