Model Description

MeXtract 1.5B is a light-weight model for metadata extraction from scientific papers. The model was created by finetuning Qwen2.5 1.5B Instruct on synthetically generated dataset. Metadata attributes are defined using schema-based apporach where for each attribute we define the Type, min length and max lenght, and options if possible.

Usage

Follow the instructions from MeXtract to install all the dendencies then

python

from schema import TextSchema
from type_classes import *
from search import extract


class ExampleSchema(TextSchema):
    Name: Field(Str, 1, 5)
    Hobbies: Field(List[Str], 1, 1, ['Hiking', 'Swimming', 'Reading'])
    Age : Field(Int, 1, 100)
    Married: Field(Bool, 1, 1)

text = """
My name is Zaid. I am 25 years old. I like swimming and reading. I am is married. 
"""
metadata = extract(
    text, "IVUL-KAUST/MeXtract-1.5B", schema=ExampleSchema, backend = "transformers"   
)
print(metadata)

## {'Name': 'Zaid', 'Hobbies': ['Swimming'], 'Age': 25, 'Married': True}

Model Details

Developed by: IVUL at KAUST
Model type: The model is based on transformers as it was finetuned from Qwen2.5
