About This Dashboard
Purpose and methodology

The AI Research Dashboard was created by Dr. Covas to provide a comprehensive, visual analysis of trends in AI research publications. Updated weekly, it aggregates data from major AI research repositories to identify emerging patterns, track the evolution of techniques, and forecast future directions in the field.

The dashboard employs a combination of automated data collection, natural language processing for content analysis, and expert curation to ensure accuracy and relevance. Each visualization is designed to highlight specific aspects of the research landscape, from topic distribution to evaluation metrics and accessibility considerations.

Dr. Covas and his team review and update the dashboard weekly with the latest publication data, ensuring that researchers, students, and industry professionals have access to current insights about the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence.

Data Collection Methodology
How the research data is gathered and analyzed

The data presented in this dashboard is collected through a multi-stage process that combines automated scraping of research repositories, manual curation, and advanced natural language processing techniques.

Data Sources

Primary sources include arXiv, major AI conference proceedings (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, CVPR), journal publications, and research blogs from leading AI labs. This ensures comprehensive coverage of both peer-reviewed research and emerging work.

Analysis Process

Each publication is processed through a custom NLP pipeline that extracts key information such as research topics, methodologies, evaluation metrics, and claims. This automated analysis is supplemented by expert review to ensure accuracy and to identify emerging trends that might not be captured by algorithmic approaches.

Update Frequency

The dashboard is updated weekly to incorporate the latest research publications. Historical data is preserved to enable trend analysis over time, and the methodology is continuously refined to improve the accuracy and relevance of the insights provided.
