The DOGSLED project funded by NCATS aims to enhance the Biomedical Data Translator system by improving its performance, functionality, and transparency, thereby accelerating scientific discovery and expanding its user base.
Description
The NCATS Biomedical Data Translator aims to augment human reasoning and accelerate scientific discovery through a federated system that integrates a broad range of biomedical data and knowledge, and reasons over them to answer translational science questions. The DOGSLED project will build on the Phase II system to improve breadth, integration, efficiency, explainability, usability, and sustainability of the Translator system. The project includes creating a performant, scalable, reproducible Translator, expanding its functionality, and making it fully transparent to users, leveraging large language models and improving reasoning approaches.
