@aarontay Thx - it is indeed :) You mean it's missing an additional title:survey element in the "Matching in title or abstract - disable for greater precision" block?

@2d_search I notice your custom examples -lens scholar is probably modelled on my aarontay.medium.com/finding-review… .mine is probably too complicated, but the one you have misses out matching on title: a survey, which causes it to miss CS papers

Delighted to announce a new release of 2Dsearch featuring a new onboarding experience with templates, samples, AI assistance and more #transparent #reproducible #systematic #search 2dsearch.com/news/2024/4/26…

Calling all #search experts - nominations for this year's BCS Search Industry Awards are now open: isquared.wordpress.com/2024/05/08/ann… If you know of any people, projects, or products that deserve recognition, let us know by submitting a nomination @bcs @bcs_irsg @iFromm @HaimingLiu1

@aarontay Thx - will check it out. If you have any other suggestions let us know

@2d_search Sure. Not sure the cost of running open source model like the smaller 7b LLAMA3 model?

@aarontay FYI it's complicated because consuming 3rd party APIs may incur a financial implication at the point of use, which could mean revisiting the business model to make it sustainable

@aarontay Yep, this is something we're aware of, and have an epic (in the agile sense) to move from our context-free LLM to something more robust, probably using a 3rd party API

@aarontay No, you are quite right! Mea culpa. All fixed now. Thx again

@2d_search Seems ok for PICO now. I'm not familiar with the other framework like SPICE etc but they all seem to be "ORing” every component, not sure if that's as designed or a oversight.

@aarontay Anyway I think the replies got slightly out of order, but we fixed the PICO template. Thx for the heads up

@2d_search Had a play but isn't there an error in some of the templates like PICO? Shouldn't Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome be linked with AND instead of OR? (1)

@aarontay Send us the problematic examples we'll see if we can fix them

Was trying this but unfortunately doesn't seem to work very well imho

"All you need do is enter your research question (in plain language) and 2Dsearch will identify the facets, offer suitable keyword suggestions and build your search for you, directly on the canvas." Wonder how it does this

@aarontay We compared 5 different algorithms for term extraction, SGRank came out best. We also compared various approaches to query expansion. In general LLMs performed best but it does depend on the data / use case. Further details here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

Delighted to announce a new release of 2Dsearch including the #Search #Strategy #Generator. Just enter your research question (in plain language) and it will identify facets, offer keyword suggestions + build your search directly on the canvas: tgr2uk.medium.com/new-year-new-r…

Delighted to announce the winners of the 2023 BCS Search Industry Awards. Congratulations to batteryincluded.ai, Wikiframe Visual Graph, @ameydhar and @FlaxSearch. Thanks also to our judges @molnaragnes, Andy Hind and Peter Cotroneo isquared.wordpress.com/2023/11/27/ann…

Well done Charlie! Great talk

Of the nine speakers at Search Solutions 2023 on 22 Nov in London eight have practical experience making search work for enterprise, e-commerce and systematic review applications, as do most of the attendees. bcs.org/events-calenda…

Some thoughts (biased as I'm a co-chair) on the benefits of attending the Search Solutions 2023 Conference on 22 November in London. Unless of course you have all the answers! If so, come and share them. searchresearch.online/search-solutio…
