Workshop "On the menu: AI-assisted literature reviews"

This practice-oriented workshop continues a series of sessions on the use of AI tools for research purposes. By harnessing the power of AI, participants can enhance their research outcomes, save time, and stay abreast of the latest developments in their fields of study. The workshop aims at exposing researchers to such free tools as Elicit, Bing, and Semantic Scholar that can assist them in writing an efficient literature review. We will try the tools and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. 

To make the most of the time, we recommend preparing at least three search points related to your research topic in advance, for example:

•    Find seminal works on the subject\method\problem X
•    Find the most recent and relevant works on the subject\method\problem Y
•    A direct research question, e.g., “How effective is beer shampoo in reducing hair loss in men?”

We will feed these questions into Semantic Scholar and Elicit to find out whether they add anything useful to traditional search workflows based on Google Scholar and the like.
