AI would probably be pretty useful for this. You’d have to assume most of the “answers” are in the abstract, so you could just build one to scrape academic texts. Use an RAG so it doesn’t hallucinate, maybe. Idk if that violates some T&C nonsense that doing it by hand doesn’t though.
This is a bad idea. It’s extremely likely to hallucinate at one point or another no matter how many tools you equip it with, and humans will eventually miss some fully made up citation or completely misrepresented conclusion.
I’m a professional software engineer and I’ve used RAG. It doesn’t prevent all hallucinations. Nothing can. The “hallucinations” are a fundamental part of the LLM architecture.
I use LLMs daily as a professional software engineer. I didn’t downvote you and I’m not disengaging my thinking here. RAGs don’t solve everything, and it’s better not to sacrifice scientific credibility to the altar of convenience.
It’s always been easier to lie quickly than to dig for the truth. AIs are not consistent, regardless of the additional appendages you give them. They have no internal consistency by their very nature.
And this isn’t even really a great application for RAG. Papermaps just goes off of references and citations. Perhaps a sentiment analysis would be marginally useful, but since you need a human to verify all LLM outputs it would be a dubious time savings.
The system scores review papers very favorably and the “yes/no/maybe” conclusion is right in the abstract, usually the last sentence or two of it. This is not a prime candidate for any LLM, it’s simple database operations on srtuctured data that already exists. There’s no use case here.

Thank you, yes. That’s exactly my point. You’d need a human to verify all of the outputs anyways, and these are literally machines that exclusively make text that humans find believable, so you’re likely adding to the problem of humans messing stuff up moreso than speeding anything up. Being wrong fast has always been easy, so it’s no help here.

Google RAG
There are tons of AIs that are not auto regressive LLMs

Are the down votes because people genuinely think this is an incorrect answer, or because they dislike anything remotely pro-AI?
Both probably. Thought terminating cliches and all that. The most useful tool maybe ever. Wild.
