New York University

Research official 2 src. ~1 min

AskChem restructures chemistry literature search around 2.4 million individually verifiable claims extracted from 147,000 papers, organized via a faceted taxonomy and an evidence graph linking related findings across publications.

Why it matters

Grounding an LLM's responses through AskChem raised resolvable-citation accuracy from 88.3% to 100%, a concrete fix for one of the biggest reliability gaps in LLM-assisted literature synthesis.

Importance: 3/5

Notable research release with a concrete reliability improvement (88.3% to 100% resolvable-citation accuracy).
