Description:

(abstract)

We developed two LLM-assisted tools to accelerate data collection from materials science publications for the Starrydata database. The first tool, Starrydata Auto-Suggestion, generates concise English descriptions from abstracts and methods that conform to our database schema, integrated into the Starrydata2 platform using lightweight models. The second tool is a dual-component system: Auto-Summary GPT processes PDF files to generate comprehensive JSON output capturing all figures, tables, and samples, while Auto-Summary Viewer transforms this into interactive tables for efficient curator review. These tools enhance curation efficiency and advance automated scientific database construction.
