Numbers as the language of science

Numbers are the language of science - yet they are often buried in text. Our Jülich Systems Analysis colleagues at Forschungszentrum Jülich have developed Quinex, an AI framework, and published the underlying study on quantitative information extraction from text. The system automatically identifies numbers, contextualises them, and converts them into structured data.
