  • FAIRagro Talk: AI-based data extraction from literature for agroecosystem modelling

    FAIRagro Talk: AI-based data extraction from literature for agroecosystem modelling

    Aug3202615:00 – 16:30Location: online Simulation models, meta-analyses, and machine learning all require standardized data, yet in agricultural research much valuable in published literature is found only in unstructured, non-machine-readable formats. Converting this information into analysis-ready datasets can support data reuse though it is labour-intensive, creating a persistent barrier to advancing research. FAIRagro Use Case 2…
