Challenges

The transformation from manual search to an AI-powered platform presented several challenges.

Massive diverse dataset

Handling data in 50,000+ research documents across disciplines, multiple languages, and formats like graphs, tables, and images.

Complex psychological queries

Users were submitting specialized psychological research queries using domain-specific terminology and theoretical frameworks, making interpretation challenging.

Risk of biased responses

Models may generate biased outputs or overlook diverse perspectives in psychological research, compromising accuracy and inclusivity of insights delivered.

Solution

We developed an AI-powered research platform, enabling seamless natural language querying, summarization, multi-document analysis, and more.

Advanced NLP integration

The platform handles advanced text generation and natural language processing with persistent context awareness across multiple interactions for complex research questions.

Efficient vector search

A vector database stored document embeddings, while AWS services managed deployment, indexing, and infrastructure to support 150,000+ concurrent users with real-time performance.

Metrics-based LLM fine-tuning

Tested multiple LLMs before selecting one, then fine-tuned it with proprietary psychological databases to optimize performance for domain-specific research queries.

Custom prompt engineering

Crafted specialized prompts to categorize different query types while ensuring gender-neutral language and adherence to psychological industry standards for inclusivity and accuracy.

Business impact

The new platform transformed research capabilities with measurable improvements.
