Partridge Search for Scientific Papers and Recommendation
August 17, 2015
If you read academic papers, you may want to take a flight through Partridge. Additional details are at this link. According to the Web site: Partridge
is a web based tool used for information retrieval and filtering that makes use of Machine Learning techniques. Partridge indexes lots of academic papers and classifies them based on their content. It also indexes their content by scientific concept, providing the ability to search for phrases within specific key areas of the paper (for example, you could search for a specific outcome in the ‘conclusion’ or find out how the experiment was conducted in the ‘methodology’ section.)
The About section of the Web site explains:
Partridge is a collection of tools and web-based scripts that use artificial intelligence to run semantic analysis on large bodies of text in order to provide reader recommendations to those who query the tool. The project is named after Errol Partridge, a character from the cult Science Fiction film ‘Equilibrium’ who imparts knowledge of a cache of fictional books (banned contraband in the film) upon the protagonist, John Preston, eventually leading to his defiance of the state and the de-criminalization of literature. Partridge is my dissertation project at Aberystwyth University, United Kingdom.
