ACORN can enable quick analysis of research project portfolios, allowing decision-makers to pick and pull solutions for execution, sponsor discussions, and mission applications. ACORN has three main outputs: analysis-ready data applicable to AI/ML research; target artifacts: from the ACORN-enabled content process that creates a single source of truth for research activity data from which users can generate content pieces; and understanding: maintaining data in the same format for programmatic analysis and enhanced understanding and better application of AI/ML practices. This collection of tools allows researchers to leverage the benefits of connected data and automate numerous tasks essential to science and communication.
