Automate finding radiographs in academic papers #31

Open bganglia opened 4 years ago

bganglia commented 4 years ago

I have a project to automatically search for, download, and extract radiographs from papers on a given disease.

Right now everything works except filtering the radiographs from the other figures, which I am still working on. Even without this feature, though, the tool could help you to manually screen paper figures quickly.

Do you think this tool would be useful for this project?

Sounds cool. Has it been working for you to find candidate papers?

@ieee8023 So far I have been submitting articles I found in the WHO database of COVID-19 articles (by the way, I would like to make a PR adding that link - https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/global-research-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov).

I will be experimenting with the tool some more today.

@bganglia Can you share the tool?

As @ieee8023 mentions a discovery tool would also be helpful.
