THE AI ANGLE
Extracting and categorizing species interactions from public comments

Researchers used language models to find and categorize species interactions from comments on participatory science platforms. The software processed hundreds of unstructured notes in minutes instead of hours. Ecologists can now assemble interaction datasets across broad geographical areas without continuous fieldwork.

THE TEACHING ANGLE
Classes can evaluate using language models to build datasets from amateur notes while reserving analytical tasks for human scientists.
