Interesting presentation on doing meta analysis of results in scientific papers via automated scraping with a python code.
For me the ‘sciscrape’ library is probably the most interesting thing (regexp based on the raw text): https://github.com/jmcarp/sciscrape
Seems to have a typical story arc of developing an automated tool - Carp extracted data by hand from 250 papers before expending the effort to code a scraper, then used on 30’000 HTML & PDFs!
