Entrepreneurial TeamSecret Tower AI Search,quiltCNKISued!

The 28-page infringement notice can be summarized in one sentence:

Your company's AI search can find my homeAcademic Literature Titles and AbstractsData without our permission,Serious infringement。

This news was just released by Mita on its official account:

In the notification letter received by the Secret Tower, there is another very eye-catching sentence:

I don't want CNKI to be searched by Secret Tower., please immediately disconnect the link from the search results to our website.

Then the last sentence:"If you need business cooperation, please contact us"……

In this regard, Mita expressed its views in a statement:

According to academic norms,The abstract and title of the document should be independent and self-explanatory, which enables readers to obtain necessary information without reading the full text. The "Academic" section of Mita AI Search only includes the abstracts and titles of the papers, but not the content of the articles themselves. To read the main text, you need to jump to the website through the source link.
The value of knowledge lies in its flowAs an important carrier of human intellectual achievements, academic literature is highly irreplaceable. If scientific literature becomes a luxury, it will be detrimental to the fair acquisition of knowledge and the development of scientific research.
In recent years, the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), jointly promoted by the international academic, publishing and library and information communities, has been continuously promoting the free reading, downloading, copying, dissemination, printing and retrieval of academic literature.
Without search, there is no research. “Knowledge discovery” is the first step in the knowledge dissemination chain.

Many netizens expressed their incomprehension of CNKI's operations, believing that AI search only provides an entry point.

Although the Secret Tower did not understand, it also made corresponding adjustments.

“From now on,MiTa AI search will no longer include the title and abstract data of CNKI documents, and instead include literature titles and abstract data from other authoritative Chinese and English knowledge bases. We also welcome other databases to cooperate and discuss. "

How does MiTa’s AI perform academic search?

Now, the interface of the Secret Tower AI search looks like this:

The overall interface has not changed, except for the addition of a"Infringement Notification"Message link.

But those who have learned about Mita AI Search may be more familiar with it. This AIGC product has been online since its launch.Academic SearchIt is the main function.

For example, if we want to learn about Transformer, we just need to enter:

Understanding the Transformer architecture.

The Secret Tower AI search will first list aWhole networkSummarize the results.

In terms of content, it includes interpretation of technology, related events, characters, andSourcewait.

However, this source of information is not the target of CNKI's lawsuit.

If you click on the top"Academic"column, the search results will be different.

Then we hover the mouse over the reference number, and a pop-upContains the paper title and abstractFloating window page:

This result is exactly the same as the information in the infringement notification letter from CNKI.

But just as the official notification of MiTa has been released, it should be impossible to link to any data related to CNKI now.

besides,"library"The search method will also be different, and will link to relevant PDF content publicly available on the Internet:

As for practicality, Mita AI Search will organize academic content. In addition to the outline format we showed above, it also includesMind MapIn the form of:

From this point of view, the content of the lawsuit filed by CNKI this time is simply because of the information displayed when the mouse is hovered in the MiTa AI search.

Is AI search an infringement?

As they are all AI searches, what will be the results of other domestic and foreign products?

First, let’s take a look at Kunlun Wanwei’sTiangong AI Search, in specially selectedAcademic SearchType, Tiangong fixes the references as a whole on the right (sources include both domestic and foreign sources).

Changing the topic can even jump directly to foreignarXiv, open it and you will see the paper.

In terms of details, there is no hover effect when the mouse is placed on the reference, and the source can only be seen by expanding the icon at the end of each paragraph (the link can only be used for direct jump).

360 AI Search, when you hover over the reference chain, only the title of the information source is displayed:

In foreign countries, the representative player of AI search isPerplexity.

We also searched this question and found that it would display the source of the information at the top of the page.

If you hover the mouse over the reference link, the title and general content will be displayed in a floating window (mostly the source is a blog).

It is not difficult to see from this that other AI search products do not seem to be directly linked to a specific paper, and the results displayed by MiTa AI search in the "Academic" column can be regarded as a feature.

However, returning to the topic of "CNKI lawsuit", it is inevitable to remind people of the many hot searches in previous years:

• "Old professor claims 700,000 yuan in copyright infringement fees from CNKI"
• "HowNet, which the Chinese Academy of Sciences cannot afford"
• "HowNet Cries Poor and Can't Afford to Pay 120 Billion Yuan"

Well, CNKI was fined and made rectifications afterwards. After being quiet for a while, it has now brought up a controversial topic again.

So what do you think about the infringement lawsuit filed by CNKI? Feel free to leave a comment in the comment section.
