SciDef: Datasets and Tools for Automated Definition Extraction from Scientific Literature with LLMs
Researchers have developed SciDef, a new resource suite designed to automate the extraction of definitions from scientific literature. This suite includes a benchmark dataset of author-stated definitions, a dataset for judging definition similarity, and an open-source pipeline utilizing large language models for processing scientific papers. The tools aim to address inconsistencies in scientific terminology across different publications, facilitating better comparison of findings and reuse of terms. AI
