Artificial Intelligence Tools
HeinOnline hopes to streamline the research experience by incorporating natural language processing and machine learning tools throughout its scholarly journals database. These tools, powered by artificial intelligence, vastly improve the discoverability of relevant content contained throughout the Law Journal Library.
