Project Summary:
Project Title: Smart Recommender System for Research Discovery
Objective:
To develop an AI-powered recommender system that assists students and researchers in efficiently discovering relevant academic publications by analyzing user-provided inputs (paper title, abstract, and keywords).
Technical Highlights:
- Dataset: ~113,000 arXiv research papers.
- Recommendation Algorithm: Content-based filtering using cosine similarity.
- Embedding Model: all-MiniLM-L6-v2 (lightweight, scalable, and semantically rich).
- Technology Stack: Python, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, Google Colab.
Outcomes & Benefits:
- Strengthened TU Chemnitz IEEE SB’s engagement in cross-border AI research collaborations.
- Fostered practical application of AI/ML techniques for educational tools.
- Enabled international networking and interdisciplinary teamwork experience for participating members.
- The developed solution has future potential for integration into academic libraries and research platforms.
Impact on IEEE Student Branch:
This activity contributes directly to the branch’s mission of providing members with opportunities for:
- Hands-on technical skill development in artificial intelligence.
- Participation in international research and innovation communities.
- Enhancing IEEE’s visibility and involvement in European collaborative projects.
