Dr Inventor (FP7-611383) is a three-year European project starting in January 2014. The aim of this project is to develop a personal research assistant, utilizing machine-empowered search and computation to bring researchers extended perspectives for scientific innovation by informing them of a broad spectrum of relevant research concepts and approaches, by assessing the novelty of their research ideas, and by offering suggestions of new concepts with unexpected features for new scientific discovery. In this project, the role of OEG-UPM is to provide support for ontology learning from scientific texts, ontology matching between the learned ontologies for similarity assessment among research papers and their associated materials, and recommendation of appropriate scientific content for a given research idea.
