How does a literature search work using AI? “Google Scholar, PubMed and other standard search tools use keywords to locate similar papers. AI algorithms, by contrast, use vector comparisons. Papers are translated from words into a set of numbers, called vectors, whose proximity in ‘vector space’ corresponds to their similarity.”
