AI-assisted Literature Review

Semestre 1 · 71080 · Corso di Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze e Tecnologie informatiche · 1CFU · EN

Manually preparing and writing a literature review takes considerable time and effort. However, tools now exist to review large knowledge bases and deliver meaningful insights in a matter of minutes. Throughout this course, students will explore which stages of the literature review process can be automated using AI and to what extent human involvement remains necessary. Students will have the opportunity to engage in a hands-on assignment where they will apply their knowledge to develop the literature review required for their doctoral program. This assignment aims to deepen their understanding and enhance their research skills.
