But then I usually leave those photos in the ‘I’ll get around to it someday’ folder, which basically means I’ll never look at…

Research: Meta’s latest AI model makes scientific PDFs machine-readable
Meta’s latest AI model makes scientific PDFs machine-readable https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.13418 Scientific knowledge is predominantly stored in books and scientific journals, often in the form of PDFs. However, the PDF format leads to a loss of semantic information, particularly for mathematical expressions. We propose Nougat (Neural Optical Understanding for Academic Documents), a Visual Transformer model that performs…
