Dark Matter is a database system used by Health Canada to store results from machine learning models that extract and link information from drug product monographs and related health databases. It allows AI systems to identify important documents and find relationships between different types of text. The system is used exclusively by Government of Canada employees and does not involve personal information. Users can also review and correct errors made by the machine learning models.
