AutoMATES: Automated Model Assembly from Text, Equations, and Software

TL;DR

AutoMATES is a project that creates unified, semantically-rich representations of complex scientific models by integrating natural language, equations, and software code to enhance cross-domain modeling capabilities.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to automatically assemble models from text, equations, and code, enabling better integration and understanding of multi-domain scientific models.

Findings

Unified model representations facilitate cross-domain integration.

Semantic-rich models improve understanding of complex systems.

Automated assembly reduces manual effort in model development.

Abstract

Models of complicated systems can be represented in different ways - in scientific papers, they are represented using natural language text as well as equations. But to be of real use, they must also be implemented as software, thus making code a third form of representing models. We introduce the AutoMATES project, which aims to build semantically-rich unified representations of models from scientific code and publications to facilitate the integration of computational models from different domains and allow for modeling large, complicated systems that span multiple domains and levels of abstraction.
