Hugging Face researcher @evijit explains why billions in taxpayer-funded scientific research are still buried in PDFs that AI can't easily use, and how Project Protostar aims to fix it: "The United States invests $190 billion in R&D research." "When taxpayer data is funding research, the research is not published in a way that is AI-ready. They’re in the form of a table in a PDF, or in very small silos like OpenFDA." "This initiative encourages publicly funded organizations to convert their work into AI-ready formats, into Hugging Face datasets, and release their models and research openly.
