LLM framework automates scientific cohort discovery from literature

Researchers have developed a novel framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) to automate the discovery of scientific cohorts from literature. This system generates PubMed queries based on research questions, screens retrieved titles and abstracts using an LLM, and extracts explicit cohort names. In a use case involving youth aggression genetics, the framework identified 44 eligible cohorts, with 17 not found in established cohort catalogues, demonstrating its potential to complement existing discovery methods.
