How can this software be applied to other research areas? Space travel/propulsion, physics, history, etc? Thank you!

It would be relatively straightforward to train embeddings for another discipline (given that you have a corpus of text for that discipline.) We expect that similar utility can be achieved (for example with drug repurposing).

Thank you for your response. I gave a speech on AI at a conference this weekend, and talked about Mat2Vec in it. After my speech was over, I got many questions about Mat2Vec and how it works. It was a big hit :)

Thanks @Tylersuard! Happy to hear that.
