IEEE DataPort and AskIEEE: Revolutionizing Access to Research Data

In response to the exponential growth of global data generation, IEEE has initiated two groundbreaking projects stemming from the IEEE/TA Data Strategy Ad Hoc committee. These initiatives harness IEEE’s vast dataset resources to accelerate research and development, facilitate global data sharing, and create value for members and customers worldwide. The first project, IEEE DataPort, is a searchable repository of research datasets. Key features include: · Ability to link datasets to authors’ IEEE publications · Open upload system for researchers · Metadata and quality screening process · Assignment of Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to datasets Dataport has a rapidly growing user base of over 8.5 million, with 20,000 new users daily. The second project is an AI/ML-powered search and knowledge engine that utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technologies. The pilot program, “AskIEEE,” allows users to pose questions in natural language and receive answers derived from IEEE’s comprehensive information database. This presentation will showcase the capabilities and successes of these innovative projects, exploring their potential to expand IEEE’s global reach and impact on the research community.
