About SOMA: Research Automation Platform
SOMA: Research Automation Platform — SOMA is a research automation platform designed to efficiently uncover undocumented pathways between factors and medical conditions using a database of open access journals. It leverages AI technology to build a knowledge graph, speeding up the search process.
