Semantic Scholar is a free AI-powered academic search engine created by the Allen Institute for AI, a non-profit research institute founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Launched in 2015, it uses machine learning algorithms to analyze and understand scientific literature, making it easier to find relevant research across disciplines. Unlike traditional keyword-based searches, Semantic Scholar uses the meaning and context of search terms, helping researchers discover papers they might miss with conventional searches. The platform covers over 200 million papers from a wide range of fields, focusing on science.
