PT LitCoin

Collective Board Meeting Summary: Collective Board members were introduced to the NCATS LitCoin project. There was interest in which LLMs were tested and used, and how the LLM was trained to generate assertions from research abstracts. One member commented that the quality and utility of the assertions generated was pretty good. Kira showed a beta version of the LitCoin interface and assertion-validation workflow, and members felt the process was intuitive. A member asked how authors would know to go to the Platform and validate assumptions for their abstracts, and Kira explained the LitCoin team is working with publishers with the goal of making this workstream part of the standard publishing pipeline. Currently, LitCoin is pulling abstracts from PubMed. In the future, authors can enter their own abstracts.
