• ITMO Researchers Present Smart Assistant for Nanostructured Materials Design

  Experts at ITMO have created an AI-based platform that automates the search and processing of scientific literature on nanomaterials design. This smart assistant takes minutes to process a user’s request, analyze the related data, and generate responses with 81% accuracy. The system also has an additional agent that evaluates response quality and, if needed, edits the prompt, which brings the risk of hallucinations down a further 15%. With the platform, research teams will be able to proceed from hypothesis to experiment faster. The new assistant and related research were described in a paper published in Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling.
