Tracking Stars and Unicorns

KMi secured a new research project “Tracking Stars and Unicorns” funded by the UKRI Metascience unit, with an award of £310,646, to look at successful and unsuccessful proposals within all UKRI councils to track research trends, assess UK competitiveness against global competitors, and understand appropriate funding mechanisms to better support the development of Early Career […]

SKM nets UKRI grant to put AI in the grant-review driving seat

Dr. Francesco Osborne, from SKM, has secured ~£200,000 from UKRI’s Metascience Unit to explore how large language models can streamline grant peer review without diluting fairness. The 12-month project, in partnership with the CORE team at KMi, Sheffield and Salford universities, will test four AI roles: triaging low-quality proposals, acting as a third reviewer, synthesising […]

Our Research

Our research leverages the combined capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Scientific Knowledge Graphs (SKGs). These graphs provide a way to structure and represent scientific information, enabling AI to analyse complex research concepts. Their combination facilitates us in developing novel approaches and large-scale tools to analyse trends, explore research data and metadata, automatically generate literature […]
