Ebsco Databases "AI Insights"

AI Insights - Beta reduces the time users spend searching for relevant full-text articles supporting their research. This feature is accessible across a vast and continually expanding array of EBSCO full-text databases and EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) via multiple interfaces.

AI Insights offer concise summaries, presenting 2-5 key points for each document. This consistent format, applied across multiple databases and deep backfiles of licensed content, introduces a new level of uniformity, facilitating rapid review.

 

How AI Insights are generated

AI Insights summaries are generated by prompting a Large Language Model to summarize insights from the specific article the user selected AI Insights for. The AI Insight prompt uses a method called Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to reduce hallucinations. EBSCO also reviews a representative sample of AI Insights with Subject Matter Expert (SME) Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for biases, tone, accuracy, and timeliness of Insights as a quality and responsible AI metric.
