1. Executive Abstract, Problem Formulation & Background
Semantic Scholar is a research tool for scientific literature. It is developed at the Allen Institute for AI and was publicly released in November 2015. Semantic Scholar uses modern techniques in natural language processing to support the research process, for example by providing automatically generated summaries of scholarly papers. The Semantic Scholar team is actively researching the use of artificial intelligence in natural language processing, machine learning, human–computer interaction, and information retrieval. Semantic Scholar began as a database for the topics of computer science, geoscience, and neuroscience. In 2017, the system began including biomedical literature in its corpus. As of September 2022, it includes over 200 million publications from all fields of science.
Each paper hosted by Semantic Scholar is assigned a unique identifier called the Semantic Scholar Corpus ID (abbreviated S2CID). The following entry is an example:Liu, Ying; Gayle, Albert A; Wilder-Smith, Annelies; Rocklöv, Joacim (March 2020). "The reproductive number of COVID-19 is higher compared to SARS coronavirus". Journal of Travel Medicine. 27 (2). doi:10.1093/jtm/taaa021. PMID 32052846. S2CID 211099356. Semantic Scholar Corpus IDs provide information to become a valuable source of metadata of published papers from all fields in a JSON format. Semantic Scholar provides two unique identifiers for the paper itself and the author of the paper has a unique identifier as well. The S2CID helps with precise searching such as the sue of advanced filters and implementation of automatic snowballing over a set of pilot papers. The unique article identifier Semantic Scholar utilizes a web crawler approach combing the web for citations and providing key details that represent the important elements of a paper (key people, data analysis, and graphical representation of citations) without requiring a great deal of reading. The unique identifier S2CID assigned to every paper hosted by Semantic Scholar assists with ranked citations and also provides help with a deep semantic analytic engine underlines all SS indexed publications, and this helps to understand the meaning of a paper. Semantic scholar's article identifiers serve as a metadata index that helps researchers find sources to aid in their research.
Automated machine learning (AutoML) is the process of automating the tasks of applying machine learning to real-world problems. It is the combination of automation and ML. AutoML potentially includes every stage from beginning with a raw dataset to building a machine learning model ready for deployment. AutoML was proposed as an artificial intelligence-based solution to the growing challenge of applying machine learning. The high degree of automation in AutoML aims to allow non-experts to make use of machine learning models and techniques without requiring them to become experts in machine learning. Automating the process of applying machine learning end-to-end additionally offers the advantages of producing simpler solutions, faster creation of those solutions, and models that often outperform hand-designed models. Common techniques used in AutoML include hyperparameter optimization, meta-learning and neural architecture search.

NERP-MultiSearch Neural Information Extraction, Retrieval, and Processing for Multi-Modal Neural Search Introduction This project proposes an architecture for efficiently and securely extracting, processing, and searching for information from digital media through the use of deep learning approaches. The architecture is designed to make digital content more accessible through semantic search and explore the domains of information extraction from digital media. Keywords Neural Search Information Retrieval Semantic Search Proposed Architecture and Approaches The proposed architecture consists of three serving layers: extraction, transformation, and loading. Extraction The extraction phase retrieves data from various sources (e.g. cloud storage, databases, websites) and categorizes it based on its MIME type (e.g. document, audio/video, image). Necessary text and images are extracted and stored in a document database, while extracted images are passed to the transformation phase for further processing. The extraction phase also involves the creation of a config.yaml file, which contains configurations for various file types and information retrieval techniques. Document extraction: Extracting data (text and images) from document types such as .doc, .ppt, .xls, and .pdf Video extraction: Extracting video frames and audio and storing them separately Web-page extraction: Parsing HTML to extract text and image data from websites Transformation Phase The transformation phase converts raw data from the extraction phase into a normalized format and stores it using an asynchronous task distributed system (e.g. Apache Kafka, Redis). It consists of three blocks: audio transformation, image transformation, and video transformation. Tools like OpenCV and Pillow may be used for image and video processing. The transformation phase also includes a consumer block with worker nodes that listen to queues and process incoming tasks. These workers have the ability to act as producers, triggering additional tasks and chaining them together. The producer block consists of web nodes that handle web requests and enqueue jobs in the task queue when a new task is received. The task queue, implemented using a Redis transport, acts as the broker, controlling the flow of information into the system and storing tasks temporarily in case of system failure. Loading The loading phase performs the important processes of information retrieval and indexing, and provides an abstraction layer for searching through all indexed data. The process of indexing begins with the creation of a config.yaml file, which specifies the deep learning-based information retrieval techniques and containers to be used for processing. A single task goes through the following procedures: Downloading a single file or retrieving it from cloud storage, a binary storage database, or an API Parsing the binary or file metadata to determine the MIME type and categorizing the file accordingly Starting the necessary containers for information retrieval based on the config.yaml file and the file's MIME type Extracting relevant information from the file using the specified information retrieval techniques Indexing the extracted information for searching Searching The search phase of the implementation allows users to search indexed data using four methods: text search with semantic search and full-text search, audio search using audio fingerprinting, image-to-image search using Euclidean distance, and face search using facial vectors and the Dlib library. Text search uses BERT and Elasticsearch, while full-text search uses Typesense. Image search uses Xception. The search process starts when a client sends a request to the API Gateway, which routes the request to the appropriate microservice. Conclusion This architecture presents a solution for efficiently extracting, processing, and searching for information from digital media through the use of deep learning techniques and an asynchronous task distributed system. It aims to make digital content more accessible through semantic search and improve the process of indexing and storing large amounts of digital media.
