    The key value here is in being able to navigate relationships visually, especially cross disciplinary ones. It’s a tool that helps with exploration and finding relationships that would be difficult to spot otherwise. I find it particularly interesting when research from different fields ends up finding convergent approaches, or a trick that’s been developed in one disciple ends up being applied in a different context. This is a great example where researchers applied algorithms used in cosmology to optimizing neural networks https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.02685

    Being able to explore research across different fields in a single data set will help surface a lot of tricks that can be applied in new contexts.
