About the Project
Allen Institute for AI works and provides the COVID-19 Open Research Dataset (CORD-19) with leading research groups and publishers. The research designs and developed an automatic answering service based on the knowledge graph pre-trained with CORD-19.
- The use of knowledge graph requires no time for training but only needs time of the graph construction process. The service is therefore capable of being online quicker.
- The service will be able to identify the keys from a question entered by a user and then summarize the content associated to the question and provide the summary to the user as the answer of the question.
- The research goal is to have the automatic answering service correctly identifying the keys from a question and summarizing the associated content that is relevant to the question and makes the user satisfied.

Frequenty Asked Questions
-
What kind of questions can I ask?
You can ask anything related to COVID-19. This service aims to generate a summary based on the question asked. You can take a look here to have some idea about the questions. Some sample questions are, Should I use soap and water or hand santizer to protect against COVID-19? Can mosquitoes or ticks spread the virus that causes COVID-19?
-
What data do you collect from users?
We are strictly against the idea of collecting user-sensitive data. You have a custom choice even for cookies. If you accept the cookies, we ask for your name, stored as a cookie in your machine. The next time you visit this site, it will remember you. You can also reject the cookies that ensure the session to be completely anonymous.
-
How accurate results can I expect?
We are constantly improving this website. As of now, it generates a general summary of the question. In the future, it will be more accurate and optimized.
-
Can I use this website to gain knowledge related to COVID-19?
Yes, the service aims to generate a summary based on your question. We have extracted data from tens of thousands of scholarly articles about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related coronaviruses.
-
Will my question be publicly available and shared with others?
No, we are against storing user's personal information. No questions will be shared or publicly available. We keep the question and the summary in our database for later use and optimization.
-
How does the summary generate?
We are using the CORD-19 dataset. CORD-19 is a free resource of tens of thousands of scholarly articles about COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and related coronaviruses for use by the global research community. We are using data mining techniques to generate the summary.
