SciDaSynth: Interactive Structured Knowledge Extraction and Synthesis from Scientific Literature with Large Language Model
<|reference_start|>SciDaSynth: Interactive Structured Knowledge Extraction and Synthesis from Scientific Literature with Large Language Model: Extraction and synthesis of structured knowledge from extensive scientific literature are crucial for advancing and disseminating scientific progress. Although many existing systems facilitate literature review and digest, they struggle to process multimodal, varied, and inconsistent information within and across the literature into structured data. We introduce SciDaSynth, a novel interactive system powered by large language models (LLMs) that enables researchers to efficiently build structured knowledge bases from scientific literature at scale. The system automatically creates data tables to organize and summarize users' interested knowledge in literature via question-answering. Furthermore, it provides multi-level and multi-faceted exploration of the generated data tables, facilitating iterative validation, correction, and refinement. Our within-subjects study with researchers demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of SciDaSynth in constructing quality scientific knowledge bases. We further discuss the design implications for human-AI interaction tools for data extraction and structuring.<|reference_end|>
