Add SemanticScholar to your search engine toolbox

Anybody and everybody can Google , but serious researchers use tools like Google Scholar and Google Patents. Another tool to add to your box is SemanticScholar (https://www.semanticscholar.org/).

According to a Wikipedia article …

///////
Semantic Scholar is a project developed at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Publicly released in November 2015, it is designed to be an AI-backed search engine for academic publications.[1] The project uses a combination of machine learning, natural language processing, and machine vision to add a layer of semantic analysis to the traditional methods of citation analysis, and to extract relevant figures, entities, and venues from papers.[2] In comparison to Google Scholar and PubMed, Semantic Scholar is designed to highlight the most important and influential papers, and to identify the connections between them.
