Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Tools for Research & More

The following is a list of tools for research (mostly literature searching) that incorporate some element(s) of machine learning into their work. It is not meant to be comprehensive, and the pace of the work being done in and around artificial intelligence today means that some links might not be functional in the coming weeks and months. Aggregators like Ithaka's generative AI tracker or there's an AI for that try to keep up, but no system is perfect.

Some of these tools are free to use, others are subscription-based. Belk Library does not currently have subscription access to any of them.

magnifying glassSearch Engines

The following tools function (more or less) like LLM-powered search engines. Enter a prompt and see related scholarly publications on that topic.

nodes in networkNetworks

The following tools use citation networks and a little bit of machine learning to find scholarly publications related to various topics. No prompting needed, but a starting document is required. Once item(s) of interest are identified, these tools find others that are closely related.

starOther/Specialized Tools

The following tools each employ AI in some way. Unlike the options above, these are either best suited for work in specific areas, or include some extra functionality beyond simple search engines or network-based representations of similarity.
