# MetaExtractor: Finding Fossils in the Literature

This project aims to identify research articles which are relevant to the [Neotoma Paleoecological Database](http://neotomadb.org) (Neotoma), extract data relevant to Neotoma from the article, and provide a mechanism for the data to be reviewed by Neotoma data stewards then submitted to Neotoma. It is being completed as part of the University of British Columbia (UBC) [Masters of Data Science (MDS) program](https://masterdatascience.ubc.ca/) in partnership with the [Neotoma Paleoecological Database](http://neotomadb.org).

There are 3 primary components to this project:
1. **Article Relevance Prediction** - get the latest articles published, predict which ones are relevant to Neotoma and submit for processing
2. **MetaData Extraction Pipeline** - extract relevant metadata from the article including geographic locations, taxa present, etc.
3. **Data Review Tool** - this takes the extracted data and allows a user to review and correct it for submission to Neotoma

## Article Relevance Prediction
## **Article Relevance Prediction**

The goal of this component is to monitor and identify new articles that are relevant to Neotoma. This is done by using the public [xDD API](https://geodeepdive.org/) to regularly get recently published articles. Article metadata is queried from the [CrossRef API](https://www.crossref.org/documentation/retrieve-metadata/rest-api/) to obtain data such as journal name, title, abstract and more. The article metadata is then used to predict whether the article is relevant to Neotoma or not.

The model was trained on ~900 positive examples (a sample of articles currently contributing to Neotoma) and ~3500 negative examples (a sample of articles unrrelated or closely related to Neotoma). Logistic regression model was chosen for its outstanding performance and interpretability.

Articles predicted to be relevant will then be submitted to the Data Extraction Pipeline for processing.

To run the Docker image for article relevance prediction pipeline, please refer to the instruction [here](docker/article-relevance/README.md)

## MetaData Extraction Pipeline
## **Data Extraction Pipeline**

The predicted relevant articles have their full text provided by the xDD team and a custom trained Named Entity Recognition (NER) model is used to extract relevant data from the article.
The full text is provided by the xDD team for the articles that are deemed to be relevant and a custom trained **Named Entity Recognition (NER)** model is used to extract entities of interest from the article.

The entities detected by this model are:
- **AGE**: when historical ages are mentioned such as 1234 AD or 4567 BP (before present)
- **TAXA**: plant or animal taxa names indicating what samples contained
- **GEOG**: geographic coordinates indicating where samples were excavated from, e.g. 12'34"N 34'23"W
- **SITE**: site names for where samples were excavated from
- **REGION**: more general regions to provide context for where sites are located
- **EMAIL**: researcher emails in the articles able to be used for follow-up contact
- **ALTI**: altitudes of sites from where samples were excavated, e.g. 123 m a.s.l (above sea level)
The entities extracted by this model are:

The model was trained on ~40 existing Paleoecology articles manually annotated by the team consisting of ~60,000 tokens with ~4,500 tagged entities.
- **SITE**: name of the excavation site
- **REGION**: more general regions names to provide context for where sites are located
- **TAXA**: plant or animal fossil names
- **AGE**: historical age of the fossils, eg. 1234 AD, 4567 BP
- **GEOG**: geographic coordinates indicating the location of the site, eg. 12'34"N 34'23"W
- **EMAIL**: researcher emails referenced in the articles
- **ALTI**: altitudes of sites, eg. 123 m a.s.l (above sea level)

The trained model is available for inference and re-use on huggingface.co [here](https://huggingface.co/finding-fossils/metaextractor).

## Data Review Tool
## **Data Review Tool**

Finally, the extracted data is loaded into the Data Review Tool where members of the Neotoma community can review the data and make any corrections necessary before submitting to Neotoma. The Data Review Tool is a web application built using the [Plotly Dash](https://dash.plotly.com/) framework. The tool allows users to view the extracted data, make corrections, and submit the data to be entered into Neotoma.

### Entity Extraction Model Training

All products of the Neotoma Paleoecology Database are licensed under an [MIT License](LICENSE) unless otherwise noted.
The Entity Extraction Models can be trained using the HuggingFace API by following the instructions in the [Entity Extraction Training README](src/entity_extraction/training/hf_token_classification/README.md).

## How to use this repository
The spaCy model training documentation is a WIP.

### Data Review Tool

The Data Review Tool can be launched by running the following command from the root directory of this repository:

```bash
docker-compose up --build data-review-tool
```

Once the image is built and the container is running, the Data Review Tool can be accessed at http://localhost:8050/. There is a sample "extracted entities" JSON file provided for demo purposes.

### Data Requirements

Each of the components of this project have different data requirements. The data requirements for each component are outlined below.

#### Article Relevance Prediction

The article relevance prediction component requires a list of journals that are relevant to Neotoma. This dataset used to train and develop the model is available for download HERE. TODO: Setup public link for data download from project GDrive.

#### Data Extraction Pipeline

As the full text articles provided by the xDD team are not publicly available we cannot create a public link to download the labelled training data. For access requests please contact Ty Andrews at ty.elgin.andrews@gmail.com.
