About

LearnDiscovery is a mobile app that help novices in a domain to overview and summarise the context of complex subjects by mapping knowledge landscapes.

The Problem

People who approaches new knowledge areas do not know yet relevant keywords about contextual or technical aspects of domain. They can guess the right keywords (keyword search), filter against categories (faceted navigation), but finding insights can be very time consuming. Or they can rely on recommender systems, but results are skewed according to popularity.

The solution

The approach was to leverage the competitive advantages of a multi-partite graph engine, to let the user start a query from what is most familiar, and then navigate knowledge landscapes. The user could overview a knowledge maps, in form of a connected graph, or summarise pathways between the first and last queried topic, in form of a textual layout providing logical insights about why and how things are related. Maps aggregated factual information and youtube videos, reducing time for browsing related information of one order of magnitude, and could be could be finally saved and shared for future reference.
