LeMat-Synth-Papers
A curated corpus of materials literature for training and evaluating synthesis procedure extraction models.
What LeMat-Synth-Papers is
LeMat-Synth-Papers is a curated dataset of materials synthesis scientific literature developed by LeMaterial. It is targeted at researchers working across materials science, chemistry, and engineering.
The dataset addresses the challenge of structuring experimental protocols described across unstructured publications. It provides a text and tabular resource designed to facilitate the training and evaluation of machine learning models that automatically extract synthesis procedures and chemical recipes from research papers.
How it was made
The dataset contains curated materials synthesis literature structured in tabular and textual formats.
