🔍 New: Census Research Exploration and Analysis Tool

The U.S. Census Bureau has released the Census Research Exploration and Analysis Tool (CREAT), a new experimental data tool that uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence to analyze, categorize, and sort the economic research contained in the Center for Economic Studies (CES) working paper series.

CREAT allows users to explore links between authors, organizations/datasets, and keywords. The application also allows you to search for any text phrase and filter by year. Instead of using author-defined topics, which may vary across domain or sub-domain, CREAT uses natural language processing techniques to extract and standardize common linkages across CES working papers. This automated extraction also identifies common entities mentioned in the text of the research, such as datasets, universities, and institutions.
