LLM framework automates cohort discovery in scientific literature

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to automate the discovery of specific participant cohorts within scientific literature. This system generates targeted queries for databases like PubMed, then uses an LLM to extract explicit cohort names from retrieved abstracts. In a test case for youth aggression genetics, the framework identified 44 eligible cohorts, with its LLM-based extraction performing comparably to human annotators and uncovering 17 cohorts not found in existing catalogues. AI

IMPACT Automates literature review for cohort identification, potentially accelerating multi-study analysis and biomedical research.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains an academic paper detailing a new framework and its evaluation.
