ASReview LAB - A tool for AI-assisted systematic reviews

Project description


🎉 ASReview LAB v2 is here! 🎉
Faster, smarter, and more flexible than ever before.
Discover the new AI models, improved workflow, and enhanced user experience.



ASReview LAB: Active Learning for Systematic Reviews

ASReview LAB is an open-source machine learning tool for efficient, transparent, and interactive screening of large textual datasets. It is widely used for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and any scenario requiring systematic text screening.

The key features of ASReview LAB are:

  • Active Learning: Interactively prioritize records using AI models that learn from your labeling decisions.
  • Scientifically validated: ASReview LAB has been scientifically validated and published in Nature Machine Intelligence.
  • Flexible AI Models: Choose from pre-configured ELAS models or build your own with custom components.
  • Simulation toolkit: Assess model performance on fully labeled datasets.
  • Label Management: All decisions are saved automatically; easily change labels at any time.
  • User-Centric Design: Humans are the oracle; the interface is transparent and customizable.
  • Privacy First: Everything is open source and no usage or user data is collected.

What's New in Version 2?

On May 14th, ASReview LAB version 2 was released with a large set of new features. The most notable new features are:

  • New ELAS AI Models: Pre-configured, high-performance (+24%) models for different use cases (Ultra, Multilingual, Heavy). More new and exciting models can now be found in our new ASReview Dory extension.
  • Improved User Experience: The interface is faster, progress monitoring is better, and there are more customization options (such as dark mode, font size, and keyboard shortcuts).
  • ASReview LAB Server with crowd screening: Screen a single project with multiple experts. All users interact with the same AI model.
  • Quick project setup: Start screening new datasets in seconds using the quick setup for projects.
  • Add customizable tags: Add tags and groups of tags to your records and label decisions. This makes data extraction much easier!
  • Improved simulation API: The new and flexible simulation API opens up a whole new simulation potential. It is a perfect tool for hunting for even better-performing models.

Installation

Requires Python 3.10 or later.

pip install asreview

Upgrade:

The ASReview LAB Workflow

  1. Import Data: Load your dataset (CSV, RIS, XLSX, etc.).
  2. Create Project: Set up a new review or simulation project.
  3. Select Prior Knowledge: Optionally provide records you already know are relevant or not relevant.
  4. Start Screening: Label records as Relevant or Not Relevant; the AI model continuously improves.
  5. Monitor Progress: Use the dashboard to track your progress and decide when to stop.
  6. Export Results: Download your labeled dataset or project file.
