#ASReview
Kicked off #Etmaal2025 with a nice workshop on systematic review automation using ASReview!

More than AI,I recommend active learning. In that sense, ASReview does a great job:

Its not as good as active learning tools eg ASReview but that's not zero shot. Among zero shot classifers I think modern large llms as screeners beats it? but are much more expensive of course... /2

"These findings suggest that the evaluated ASReview configurations may be insufficient for reviews in which near-complete retrieval of relevant evidence is required"

Yes - I've used ASreview and I love it (asreview.nl). It uses ML to present you with more relevant papers earlier on, and then you only screen until a stopping role. You train the model yourself. Free! Open Source!

Some cool tools for #SystematicReviews:

asreview.nl (obtain an overview of most relevant records efficiently while being transparent in the process)

Our software ASReview is designed to accelerate the step of screening abstracts and titles with a minimum of papers to be read.

Just discovered the SYNERGY dataset, from the ASR review team, providing the full screening data (list of articles with binary included/excluded variables, abstract titles and so on) from 26 systematic reviews!!!
Thank you. So. Much.

Just attended today's #LABTalk at @uni-muenster.de! Our colleague Nicole Niehoff shared her approach to conducting a systematic review using #ASReview & #ChatGPT, offering valuable insights into her experiences with these cutting-edge tools.

Really interesting is also the use of LLM+CAL (continously active learning) in this ceur-ws.org/Vol-3770/pap... . Its a bit complicated with 2 phases but the general idea is to sample first from LLM judgements. ASReview samples from papers LLM judge true or unknown +100 random LLM judge false

Authors are permitted to use tools to help automate paper selection. AI tools, when used at any stage in manuscript preparation, must be declared per Elsevier policies. Use of open source tools is encouraged (see e.g. the recent paper on ASReview 2.0 www.cell.com/patterns/ful...). 7/n

Great workshop about ASReview (look it up 👀) When AI can help you save incredible amount of time when doing systematic literature reviews⏱️ #evidencegeneratio #systematicreview #AI #ML #data

For openalex they did vector embeddings using 1)inclusion criteria 2)abstracts of included 34 studies 3) train ASReview with included 34 studies to produce logistic model which is used to score abstracts. In each method they took some top k

To be clear if you believe ES must involve screening every single of your search results, then obviously yes, ranking doesnt matter! But even in ES, peeps are doing active learning with ASreview, stopping before everything is screened. Relevancy ranking is crazy important here! (3)

Fascinating, thanks! “The AI companies didn’t focus on PDF, because PDF is very hard, until they realized that, well, it turns out a lot of the really high-quality stuff is in fact in PDF, and so now we have to deal with it.”

This makes me wonder about ASReview and other apps.

Had a very pleasant afternoon at the ASReview user meeting today. The following paper about stopping rules when screening with the help of LLM looks very interesting: systematicreviewsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Active learning has become an increasingly popular method for screening large amounts of data in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The active learning process continually improves its predictions ...

Would be interested to hear how you derrived a stopping rule. That seems to be the key decision to make using this approach.

Also, in standard reviews, you adopt double screening for at least a portion of titles and abstracts. Unclear to me how that works in the ASReview framework?
