.1ProjectsJune 26, 2018 Jacobo Elosua A closer look at the machineWhat will the Aiur Knowledge Validation Engine do in practice? Reposted from Medium. Project Aiur’s Knowledge Validation Engine will receive an input text, either a research paper or a self-written text, and return additional knowledge ultimately connected to the input text’s scientific quality. This process will initially consist of three sequential steps: Enrichment of the input […]

However, we seem to be […]
.4EventsSeptember 21, 2016 Jacobo Elosua Great results from our first Scithon™!How to build a rocket with composite materials? Together with the leading European research institute Swerea SICOMP and Chalmers University we organised a science hackathon, or scithon, as we call it. The goal of the 4-hour sprint was to map out solutions to this space challenge and, in the process, get a grasp of where […]
