Claim 5:
6. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a search schema defining search parameters associated with a research topic, wherein the search parameters includes a source concept, a target concept, an intermediate link, and a query condition for a causal pathway, wherein the intermediate link includes a semantic concept or a semantic relation, wherein the search parameters are used by a research assistant tool to determine one or more evidence links to establish the causal pathway between the source concept and the target concept;
identifying one or more evidence passages that reference the source concept or one or more first neighboring links, the one or more first neighboring links establishing one or more semantic connections between the source concept and the intermediate link;
determining, from the one or more evidence passages, that the one or more first neighboring links are semantically connected and satisfy the query condition;
determining that a causal link fails to be established between the intermediate link and the target concept;
determining, from the one or more evidence passages, one or more second neighboring links between the intermediate link and the target concept;
determining that the causal link can be established between the one or more intermediate links and the target concept; and
presenting, via a user interface presented via a user device, the causal pathway including an associated portion of the one or more evidence passages.
