Make search more intuitive and faster for all with Embase AI. Just enter a question in your own words, no need to add specialized syntax or complex search strings.

Embase AI provides a summary based on the top 5 relevant articles from the most comprehensive corpus of peer-reviewed biomedical research content. Select “Include preliminary research” to expand your search to include:

Embase AI provides links to the top relevant articles in its summary, grounding the text responses in the source materials.

Top references are generated using traditional and neural methods:

  • First, a fast, term-based ranking algorithm retrieves a broad set of relevant documents based on keyword matching.

  • Second, a neural model deeply assesses the semantic relevance of the documents and ranks the candidates.

This two-stage process ensures Embase AI retrieves the most relevant documents.
