The 10th Annual Meeting of the American Society for Cellular and Computational Toxicology (ASCCT), being held virtually October 12-14, aims to promote toxicology testing and research that reduces and replaces the use of animals. As part of this meeting, Dr. Brian Howard will present recent work on Sciome’s semi-automated PDF text extraction tool, FIDDLE, which uses deep learning, image processing, and NLP to convert binary PDF text documents into machine-readable raw text. In addition, Sciome has developed a web-based platform designed to allow users to efficiently annotate text with entities, groups and relations that are of interest for a given data domain. The resulting datasets will be used to build high-quality neural machine learning models for automated information extraction and normalization.
