Abstract

Scientific articles contain a wealth of valuable information, but extracting and organizing this information manuallycan be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques offer a promisingsolution to automate the extraction of relevant information from scientific articles. This project aims to developadvanced NLP techniques to enhance information extraction from scientific literature. In this project, we willdevelop NLP techniques to select the most relevant information by leveraging state-of-the-art models andalgorithms. Through the application of NLP methods, we seek to extract key insights, relationships, and findingsfrom vast amounts of scientific texts, thereby facilitating knowledge discovery and synthesis in various domains.
