• Title: Mapping Researchers with PeopleMap
• Authors: Jon Saad-Falcon, Omar Shaikh, Zijie J. Wang, Austin P. Wright, Sasha Richardson, and Duen Horng Chau
• Abstract summary: PeopleMap creates visual maps for researchers based on their research interests and publications. Requiring only the researchers' Google Scholar profiles as input, PeopleMap generates and visualizes embeddings for the researchers. PeopleMap has received positive feedback and enthusiasm for expanding its adoption across Georgia Tech.

• Abstract: Discovering research expertise at universities can be a difficult task. Directories routinely become outdated, and few help in visually summarizing researchers' work or supporting the exploration of shared interests among researchers. This results in lost opportunities for both internal and external entities to discover new connections, nurture research collaboration, and explore the diversity of research. To address this problem, at Georgia Tech, we have been developing PeopleMap, an open-source interactive web-based tool that uses natural language processing (NLP) to create visual maps for researchers based on their research interests and publications. Requiring only the researchers' Google Scholar profiles as input, PeopleMap generates and visualizes embeddings for the researchers, significantly reducing the need for manual curation of publication information. To encourage and facilitate easy adoption and extension of PeopleMap, we have open-sourced it under the permissive MIT license at https://github.com/poloclub/people-map. PeopleMap has received positive feedback and enthusiasm for expanding its adoption across Georgia Tech.

  We introduce OpenResearcher, an innovative platform that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to accelerate the research process. OpenResearcher is built based on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) with up-to-date, domain-specific knowledge. We develop various tools for OpenResearcher to understand researchers' queries, search from the scientific literature, filter retrieved information, provide accurate and comprehensive answers, and self-refine these answers.
