== Compiling graphs to manuscripts ==
== Compiling graphs to manuscripts ==
=== Overview ===
We'd like to build a prototype of a tool that starts with discourse units (phrases with the category Question/motivation, Method, Evidence, Claim) and uses NLP to generate a draft of a manuscript paragraph.
[[File:Discourse graph to manuscript draft via NLP.png|900x900px]]
=== Purpose ===
Such a tool would speed up a really time consuming aspect of the academic job: drafting grant proposals and manuscripts from content. It would also encourage researchers to generate structured content (questions/claims/evidence) which will get incorporated into a discourse graph.
The benefit to the user is a structured approach to writing papers and grant proposals. Using the tool will introduce researchers to the concept of discourse units, and generate a repository of discourse units that can be turned into discourse graphs.
=== Ideal outcomes ===
(more to add here)
This tool could also enable the micropublication of mini discourse graphs (one question/method/evidence/claim) by generating a draft of the explanatory text.
* Could also integrate into Roam Research graphs, e.g. in Matt's lab, via the Roam GPT-3 extension
=== What we're doing next ===

** need examples or access to repo
* Matt and Michael will share some examples of papers or content from the discourse graph to use as source data
* Sid can check out [https://github.com/LayBacc/roam-ai  Roam AI extension] for incorporation into our roam graph workflow (fork, make modifications etc)
** ([https://www.reddit.com/r/RoamResearch/comments/yigf6q/im_genuinely_fascinated_with_the_roam_ai/ discussion on its usage])

=== Related conversation ===
* Dafna: "compiling" discourse graph to manuscript seems much easier, esp. if have consistent structure and human-in-the-loop
** Similar to brainstorming discussion/ethics statements for a paper given abstract (via GPT-3
* Belinda: how much variation in paper structure within your field?
** some variations by journal
=== Claims in the conversation that need evidence ===
* the majority of empirical research papers in biology have a similar structure (question/ motivation/ evidence (fig.1a)/ claim for each paragraph & figure panel)
* multiple researchers (or students) asked to highlight the questions/claims/evidence text from a paper will highlight similar/consensus text (part of the NLP-to-highlights project)
