AI and Text Mining (TDM)
Updated July 25, 2026AI systems:
Some platforms included in the university libraries’ subscriptions offer generative artificial intelligence tools that make it easier to explore and
read scientific literature:
- Chatbots / conversational assistants;
- Natural-language queries with results based on references from the database itself;
- Detailed summary and in-depth analysis of the literature.
