Overview
We are a New York based research group serving people across the world. We were founded in 2018 by Dr. Chang Wang.
Our mission is to help people stay current with the latest tech trends, generate content based on facts, and reason over unstructured data. We own a platform providing a full spectrum of machine learning and natural language processing functions — content generation, search, summarisation, question answering and more — and we maintain a large, clean, up-to-date corpus of hundreds of millions of documents.
We serve both personal users and business collaborators, including customised solutions for business users. Our contact details are at the bottom of this page.
"Paper Digest" is our trademark, registered in the US and in other countries and regions.
