Session Goal

The session aimed to develop and optimize a pipeline for retrieving and analyzing abstracts using various APIs and AI agents.

Key Activities

  • Guide Creation: Developed a comprehensive guide on retrieving abstracts using CrossRef, PubMed, and Semantic Scholar APIs, including setup and code examples.
  • API Comparison: Conducted a detailed comparison between CrossRef and Semantic Scholar APIs to aid in selecting the best tool for scholarly metadata retrieval.
  • Pipeline Optimization: Designed a dual-layer data pipeline for literature screening, leveraging CrossRef for broad coverage and Semantic Scholar for citation analysis.
  • Troubleshooting: Addressed network issues related to CrossRef API connections.
  • Workflow Update: Updated the research paper processing pipeline to enhance data ingestion and abstract screening.
  • AI Integration: Developed structured instructions for AI agents to improve abstract analysis, focusing on hypothesis, motivation, methods, results, and conclusions.
  • LLM Priming: Reflected on effective priming strategies for large language models to enhance AI response quality.

Achievements

  • Successfully created a detailed guide and workflow for abstract retrieval and analysis.
  • Enhanced the research pipeline with AI integration for improved abstract screening.
  • Developed insights on API selection and AI priming strategies.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine AI agent prompts for abstract analysis.
  • Continue troubleshooting any remaining API connection issues.
