New AI model can help achieve the SDGs through Research4Life content

Published: Thursday 27th October 2022

Researchers and publishers may soon be able to find new fields of inquiry relevant to the SDGs thanks to an artificial intelligence (AI) model being developed for Research4Life.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 targets designed to solve global issues and achieve universal development, set up in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly.

The model identifies research gaps by matching the contents on the Research4Life platform with a corresponding Goal...

Computational scientist Jaron Porciello is a co-founder of Havos.Ai, a US company that provides digital solutions using AI — which created the model...

The smart system is built to spur interdisciplinary research, says Porciello, who believes that collaboration of researchers from diverse fields is the way to overcoming global challenges...

“I think one of the things that all the Sustainable Development Goals are designed to do is to think about: how do we address problems in a holistic way? A rising tide lifts all boats!”...

The model uses machine learning — a process of training a computer to execute tasks on its own — and maps the journals to a specific Goal and indicators. This is done by looking for specific keywords and phrases and generating content categories. Finally, the model displays the journals as well as matching SDG interventions and indicators...
