The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic created a major challenge for clinical trials recruitment as early attention was focused on matters of public health and clinical care, and research--outside of COVID-19-- essentially shut down. Rally with Partners (rally.partners.org), an Internet-based portal for clinical research volunteer recruitment, continued to support studies that continued their recruitment during this period and additionally, implemented several measures to support COVID-19 research. In this paper, we summarize our experiences and preliminary results.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
