Kevin Yager, leader of the electronic nanomaterials group at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), Brookhaven National Laboratory, has developed a specialized AI-powered chatbot to facilitate collaboration and expert input in scientific research. This chatbot stands out from general-purpose chatbots due to its in-depth knowledge in nanomaterial science, made possible by advanced document retrieval techniques. It taps into a vast pool of scientific knowledge, making it an active participant in scientific brainstorming and ideation. The unique strength of this chatbot lies in its technical foundation, particularly the use of embedding and document-retrieval methods, which ensure that the AI provides not only relevant but also factual responses.
