Grobid

GROBID is a machine learning library for extracting, parsing, and re-structuring raw documents.

It is designed and expected to be used to parse academic papers, where it works particularly well. Note: if the articles supplied to Grobid are large documents (e.g. dissertations) exceeding a certain number of elements, they might not be processed.

This loader uses Grobid to parse PDFs into Documents that retain metadata associated with the section of text.

---

The best approach is to install Grobid via docker, see https://grobid.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Grobid-docker/.

(Note: additional instructions can be found here.)

Once grobid is up-and-running you can interact as described below.

Now, we can use the data loader.

from langchain_community.document_loaders.generic import GenericLoader
from langchain_community.document_loaders.parsers import GrobidParser

loader = GenericLoader.from_filesystem(
    "../Papers/",
    glob="*",
    suffixes=[".pdf"],
    parser=GrobidParser(segment_sentences=False),
)
docs = loader.load()

'Unlike Chinchilla, PaLM, or GPT-3, we only use publicly available data, making our work compatible with open-sourcing, while most existing models rely on data which is either not publicly available or undocumented (e.g."Books -2TB" or "Social media conversations").There exist some exceptions, notably OPT (Zhang et al., 2022), GPT-NeoX (Black et al., 2022), BLOOM (Scao et al., 2022) and GLM (Zeng et al., 2022), but none that are competitive with PaLM-62B or Chinchilla.'
