Grobid: Machine learning for extracting information from scholarly documents
- mlok 5y agoGrobid sounds like "gros bide" in French, meaning either "fat belly" (slang) or "big fail".
- Grimm1 5y agoBig shout out to Grobid. It's been backing one project of mine that I've had hosted for a few years now, It let's you upload and manage academic papers with a super powered text representation that is only possible because of Grobid.
- bananaoomarang 5y agoWe make pretty heavy use of Grobid at scite (https://scite.ai https://scite.ai) to parse PDFs in order to extract and classify the citation contexts. A great piece of software and I think without it we would be hard pressed to do what we do.
- pkkm 5y agoGreat library. I use it to extract the references from scientific papers in my personal project and it performs well even on tricky PDFs.
- imranq 5y agoCould this be used to convert PDFs into audio? I would love to be able to listen to papers while walking / driving
- Grimm1 5y agoYes it can, I did just that combined with AWS Polly or some text to speech library of your choosing.
- agrafix 5y agoI wrote something similar a while ago https://github.com/agrafix/grabcite https://github.com/agrafix/grabcite — I was surprised how far you could get with just heuristics. The nice thing is that many academic papers are also available with their LaTeX source which avoids a lot of the structure guessing from PDFs.
