Knowledge Lab

Overview
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 develop new big data, machine learning and crowd-sourcing 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.
