TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology and University Library of Germany has joined the INSPIRE collaboration and will be taking on some of the responsibilities previously held by DESY.
In particular, TIB will work on content selection, i.e., deciding which articles ought to be included in the INSPIRE-HEP literature database. Over a two-year period, TIB seeks to increase automation in INSPIRE’s content selection workflows, leveraging state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. In doing so, TIB places a strong focus on quality assurance, keeping human experts in the loop for quality-sensitive tasks. In addition to content selection, TIB also contributes to the curation of INSPIRE-HEP metadata (adding information on author affiliations, conferences, experiments, etc.)
