In this webinar, Helena Deus talks about the COVID-19 knowledge graph that Elsevier created by applying text mining techniques on relevant papers. She also discusses why a knowledge graph was used.  Shobhna Srivastava discusses Elsevier's Research Citation network. She talks about how the journey of trying to simplify the existing data processing pipeline, to optimise costs, and choose the right solution to the problem opens the doors to other potential use cases and innovation. Graph technology has been applied to the scientific research domain to enhance content discovery.
