SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users quickly screen academic papers, identify scholars, normalize institutions and venues, and scan patent activity without using paid AMiner APIs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Paper triage: Find a paper by title, then enrich it with a short abstract slice, venue, year, author count, and citation bucket.
  • Scholar, institution, and venue lookup: Identify the right scholar, canonical organization, or venue entity and return IDs, aliases, and basic classification details.
  • Patent trend scanning: Search patents by keyword and surface lightweight trend signals such as first inventor, application year, and publication year.
  • Use case: A researcher can quickly check whether a paper is relevant, confirm which Andrew Ng profile is the Stanford professor, normalize "MIT CSAIL," and verify whether "TKDE" is a journal or conference.

Quick Start

Ask for a free AMiner lookup of a paper, scholar, institution, venue, or patent, and provide any title, name, or keyword you want checked.
