Research Analysis with AI

Introduction

When working on the Gathersight project, we identified areas where processes could be automated and improved. This led us to explore AI-based solutions. The full case study can be accessed: here

Two key functionalities stood out: the need to classify and compile research papers efficiently and the ability to generate questions from user-provided text. Designed to simplify document preparation for experts and organizations alike.

The Challenge

Articles Sourced from the Web

Manually sorted into topics like sustainability and governance.

Result: Errors and delays.

Generating Questions

Required significant expertise and manual effort.

Result: Limited scalability.

Lack of Organized Expert Profiles

Made it hard for organizations to connect with specialists.

Overwhelmed Manual Workflows

Growing demand for insights exceeded capacity.

How We Implemented AI

Step 1: Gathering the Right Data

  • Web-Sourced Research Articles

    50,000 articles from online sources trained categorization algorithms.

  • ESG Labels

    5,000 labeled entries refined topic classification.

  • User Project Descriptions: A transformer model was used with a prompt containing examples to refine its output. This approach generated accurate and precise questions suitable for expert review.

Data preparation included:

  • Breaking text into manageable units (tokenization).

  • Standardizing terms (normalization).

Step 2: Building the Models

Generating Questions Transformer models (e.g., BERT) were fine-tuned to generate relevant, structured questions from user inputs.

Categorizing Articles Supervised learning algorithms:

  • Identified patterns for accurate categorization.

  • Standardized data for consistent performance.

Creating Expert Profiles The AI system compiled categorized articles into expert profiles with:

  • Personalized feeds of published research.

  • Highlighted areas of expertise.

  • Tools for organizations to follow and collaborate with specialists.

Step 3: Integrating into the Workflow: The system was integrated into the Gathersight platform:

  • Users upload project descriptions.

  • AI processes the input, generating questions and categorizing articles.

  • Tools for organizations to follow and collaborate with specialists.

  • Articles are linked to expert profiles, helping organizations connect with relevant specialists.

  • Insights and expert recommendations are delivered instantly.

Step 4: Testing and Refining Post-deployment testing included:

  • Validating models with new data.

  • Using user feedback to refine question-generation and categorization.

Results

  • Categorization time reduced by 85%.

  • Simplified expert searches, improving collaboration.

  • Scaled to handle growing data and user needs.
