IEEE Region 4 and 5 Ask-Me-Anything: IEEE’s Data-based Strategy

As the world is generating zettabytes of Data, IEEE has launched new projects emanating from the
IEEE/TA Data Strategy Ad Hoc committee. These new projects leverage IEEE’s Data to create value for
customers worldwide. They also offer opportunities for researchers and industries to share data in
order to accelerate development cycles. The first is a product called IEEE DataPort, a searchable
repository of research Data. The Data can be linked to the author’s IEEE publication and anyone can
upload Datasets. The Datasets get screened for the metadata and Quality and are assigned a DOI
(Digital Object Identifier). IEEE DataPort has a broad spectrum of users numbering over 8.5 million
and is adding 20,000 every day. The second is an Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning based
combination Search and Knowledge engine. It uses NLP (Natural Language Processing) and RAG
(Retrieval Augmented Generation) artificial intelligence. “AskIEEE” is a pilot that allows users to ask
questions in their own format and gets answers based on IEEE information that has been ingested
into the engine. This talk will present capabilities and successes of these first two efforts and discuss
opportunities to expand the reach to members and researchers worldwide.
