DDDI is excited to support the launch of the University Atlas project (uAtlas): an effort to map Penn’s vibrant research community. Visitors to uAtlas can explore decades worth of publications authored by faculty in the School of Arts and Sciences map, with more schools coming soon. Founded by DDDI executive director Colin Twomey, uAtlas leverages recent advances in large language models to automatically organize scholarly publications according to their topics and themes. The result is a collection of visually engaging maps that showcase the interdisciplinary nature of research at Penn, highlighting the many connections between Penn’s departments, centers, and faculty. uAtlas offers researchers a new way to quickly identify potential collaborators across fields, identify emerging trends, and orient newcomers to Penn’s research community.
