Through the use of natural language processing techniques (such as topic modeling) on the current existing evidence base such as publications within What Works Clearinghouse (WWC), Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases and academic papers published in journals, the team has explored ways to harness the power of existing evidence base to understand the dynamics of the evidence base, gaps which may exist, and how to identify opportunities for further research. Led by Assistant Professor Dr. Brian Wright, we have had a year-long collaboration with the data science specialists and wikipedian-in residence on this project.
