Title:SALSA: Semi-Autonomous Literature Summarization Assistant
Abstract:SALSA (Semi-Autonomous Literature Summarization Assistant) is an open- source, human-in-the-loop platform for extracting structured scientific datasets from multimodal literature sources. The software combines document parsing, large language models, optical character recognition, computer vision, figure digitization, and user-guided correction tools to recover structured information from text, tables, figures, and captions. Users can configure extraction stages, define dataset schemas, perform interventions on digitized figures, and export verified data for downstream analysis and machine learning. SALSA is designed to automate repetitive literature curation tasks while preserving oversight where expert judgment is required. By supporting customizable extraction workflows across diverse input types, the software provides a flexible framework for scalable, reliable data curation for materials research, and potentially across several disciplines. Users are responsible for ensuring that all inputs, extraction workflows, and downstream uses comply with applicable publisher agreements, copyright and licensing terms, institutional policies, and data-use requirements.
