MiembroKnowledgeLab

The Knowledge Lab seeks to understand how knowledge is created, certified, used and forgotten in order to improve the process of discovery. The explosion of digital information, including articles, preprints, software, patient records, patents, videos, and sensor data, offers an unprecedented opportunity to study the dynamics that shape research. Knowledge Lab researchers will develop new big data, machine learning and crowdsourcing approaches and techniques to comprehend the current shape and limits of human understanding. These projects will catalyze a new field devoted to representing, recombining and generating knowledge in powerful ways across all fields.

The Knowledge Lab includes researchers from the University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory, Stanford University, Northwestern University, the University of California, Los Angeles, University of Washington, University of Wisconsin, Princeton University and Harvard University.
