Iris AI is an artificial intelligence tool that helps users navigate scientific research papers. It was founded in Norway in 2015 and aims to read all the world's research papers to help connect ideas. Users can input a research paper URL and Iris will analyze it, present key concepts, and link to related papers to help users find relevant information faster than existing tools. The goal is to make scientific knowledge more accessible and help innovation.

2. About
Iris AI is a Science
assistant, helping us to map
out relevant research for
our thesis work or R&D
project. It will double our
productivity over existing
tools such as Google
Scholar.
As an Artificial Intelligence
that will read all of the
world's research and help
us connect the dots.

3. History
 It was founded in November 11, 2015 in Norway by
Anita Schjøll Brede
“Our human brains aren’t powerful
enough to grasp all of the world’s
scientific knowledge and connect
the dots. Iris AI is an Artificial
Intelligence that will do it for us, to
help entrepreneurs solve the world’s
biggest problems.”

4. Home page
Click explore to enter the website and get the research papers.

5. The flow is simple.
Give Iris the URL to a research paper. It reads the abstract,
maps out the key concepts and presents you with the most
relevant articles from more than 30M Open Access papers.
With a nicely visualized overview you can navigate around
until you find what you need.

6. Spend our time reviewing relevant articles rather than
trying to formulate key words in a field you don't
know yet.

7.  Iris AI services a volume market consisting of Master
and PhD students, and targets R&D departments and
Research Institutes with their paid solutions.
 An Artificial Intelligence will read all of the world's
research and help us connect the dots.

8.  Iris AI bridge the knowledge gap between entrepreneurs
and researchers. Scientific knowledge and progress is
delivered to entrepreneurs and innovators in a
personalized, relevant and timely manner with actionable
insights. Exploring new research areas is exciting and
playful.
 Iris AI will analyze the abstract of your research paper,
present the key concepts, and link those with research
papers.

9.  Iris AI is a company that “aims to make scientific
research fast and easy, even if you’re a total non-
expert.”
 The ultimate goal of Iris AI is to build an artificial
intelligence capable of highlighting new trends and
interconnections of discoveries to help knowledge
seekers connect the dots.
 Even if the science behind your interest area is
completely inscrutable to non-experts, the AI- trained
methodology helps you search using all sorts of
different inputs, so you can instantly access and
navigate the research of your interest.

10. What we can do with IRIS
Navigate the research world
Use your own project descriptions and internal documentation to
immediately generate research landscape maps. Let Iris help your
team in navigating >30M Open Access papers up to 10x faster than
their current pace.

11. Navigate your own content
Connect Iris to a database your own content – R&D documents,
technology descriptions, course material, product specs, safety
documentation – and let Iris help your team quickly identify
what you already know.

12. Millions of papers never even
read
 “Nearly 1.8 million research papers are published each year
by researchers around the world. Yet, only a disturbingly
small portion of it is put into practice or ever even read.
These papers, and the connections they make, hold great
potential for innovation.
 The challenge is that human brain is not powerful enough
to find and process all the relevant scientific information
that is available.

13. Academia.edu
Academia.edu is
a social
networking website for
academics. The platform
can be used to share
papers, monitor their
impact, and follow the
research in a particular
field.

14. History
It was founded by Richard Price in September 2008 with 31
million registered users as of January 2016 and over 8 million
uploaded texts.
RICHARD PRICE
Chief Executive Officer
“More outsiders will be able to come in
and bring that beginner’s mind thinking to
research.”

15. Home page

16.  According to their homepage, Academia.edu is “a growing
community of 3,982,720 researchers” which hosts over five
million unique visitors each month. And unlike traditional
social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, the
main goal of this website is to allow socialization and
sharing within academic fields.
 A lot of emphasis is placed on this site being a hub where
people can easily post their academic papers, which allows
colleagues from around the world to help accelerate the
research process.

17.  Academics use Academia.edu to share their research,
monitor deep analytics around the impact of their
research, and track the research of academics they
follow. 43,471,287 academics have signed up to
Academia.edu, adding 15,842,074 papers and 1,940,835
research interests. Academia.edu attracts over 36 million
unique visitors a month.
 Academia.edu is not a institute like university or college
, so it domain name is not suit for .edu . But The domain
name “Academia.edu” was registered in 1999, prior to
the regulations which required .edu domain names to be
held by accredited post-secondary institutions.

18. It helps you follow research in your area. You can follow
other academics in your field, and you can follow journals.
You get a News Feed with the latest research updates from
people you are following.

19.  You can share your own work on Academia.edu- papers,
talks, status updates, blog posts, teaching documents.
People following your work will see your updates in their
News Feeds.
 The company's mission is to accelerate the world's research.

20. Disadvantages
 No download option for not logged in users. Although
registration is free and open to everyone, this is still some
kind of barrier. People are lazy and do not like to log in.
 When I have a choice I always choose not to log in, and this
is why I frequently search for papers on Fig share.

21. Mobile app
Like other networking
sites, this one also
provides a mobile app so
that you can keep
connected at all times and
receive updates, in order
to better fulfil their
promise of keeping
academics up to date.

22. Differences btw Iris AI and
Academia.edu
 Academia.edu is like a social network for researchers.
They follow each other or other researchers whose
topics they find interesting.
 Iris AI is more like a search engine that gives out the
key concepts as the output.
