What is Science Navigator
Science Navigator is a new-generation AI4S scientific research knowledge base and AI academic search platform jointly built by the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence for Science and DP Technology. It is the world's first AI scientific research platform covering "reading literature - doing computation - doing experiments - multidisciplinary collaboration." Through intelligent technology, it empowers scientific research innovation and helps researchers efficiently explore the latest developments at the academic frontier.
Main functions of Science Navigator
- Full-dimensional scientific research knowledge base: backed by a global scientific research knowledge base covering multiple languages including Chinese and English, it includes over ten million papers, academic data, and knowledge graphs, and automatically synchronizes the latest research progress every day.
- Personalized question recommendations: AI analyzes users' research directions and field trends to recommend high-value scientific questions, automatically completes academic questions, and pushes links to frontier answers in the discipline.
- Multimodal search: supports multiple forms of input such as images, chemical molecular formulas, and experimental data, broadening the channels for obtaining scientific research information.
- Batch literature question answering: researchers can pose comprehensive queries on a certain topic, and the platform automatically extracts and integrates relevant content from massive papers, providing a summarized answer at once.
- Deep integration of on-campus resources: prioritizes connection with on-campus data platforms and knowledge bases, accelerates the reuse of the university's scientific research achievements, and helps teachers and students quickly establish academic connections.
- Data storage and management: the platform's data foundation includes the metadata of 200 million papers and the full-text content of 3 million arXiv papers. Through a specially developed PDF parsing tool, it can accurately extract text, images, tables, and mathematical formulas from papers.
- Scientific research literature management: in Science Navigator, you only need to upload your paper folder to the platform, and it can help you organize and index it, and quickly locate relevant content.
How to use Science Navigator
- Access entry: Peking University teachers and students can access the platform by searching for "AI4S" through the campus portal or the Peking University APP.
- Literature search: use the full-dimensional scientific research knowledge base, backed by a global scientific research knowledge base covering multiple languages including Chinese and English, including over ten million papers, academic data, and knowledge graphs, and automatically synchronizing the latest research progress every day.
- Personalized recommendations: AI analyzes users' research directions and field trends, recommends high-value scientific questions, automatically completes academic questions, and pushes links to frontier answers in the discipline.
- Experimental design and simulation: the platform can break down the research goals we propose, carry out experimental design, link with instruments for experimental simulation, reflect, deduce, and iterate based on the results, and promptly carry out further experimental design and re-validation.
Application scenarios of Science Navigator
- Interdisciplinary problem exploration: "Science Navigator" supports multidisciplinary collaboration, can help researchers establish connections between different disciplinary fields, and discover new research directions and cooperation opportunities.
