Currently, there are people working on the following extensions for Ricgraph:

A chatbot that allows you to “talk” to Ricgraph. You can formulate questions in plain English, such as “Please give me the research results of the Geosciences faculty of Utrecht University?” or “With what organizations does that faculty collaborate?”. It uses a local Large Language Model. This is a project with nine students from Utrecht University, Utrecht. Read more at Research AI. Status: planning stage (pre-alpha).
A project with a student from the University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht, that aims to use AI and Large Language Models to find topics and visualize large amounts of research information. It assigns topics to publications, data sets, and software. By selecting a number of topics, research results are grouped, and possibly experts on these topics can be found. Status: planning stage (pre-alpha).
A project with a student from the University of Applied Sciences, Utrecht, to develop a modern frontend-backend user interface for Ricgraph information. Status: planning stage (pre-alpha).
