Problem the AI is intended to solve

Manager for Intelligent Knowledge Access (MIKA) is a Python toolkit specialized for state-of-the-art knowledge discovery and information retrieval for technical documents.

Expected benefits

Intended for supporting early design hazard analysis, MIKA provides multiple natural language processing techniques and aims to enable rapid application of these different techniques to a relevant dataset.

System outputs

Users can retrieve incident reports from a domain relevant to a design, extract themes in the dataset, and uncover trends. Results can be presented in multiple formats, including tables and as a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)-style analysis.
