Overview

What is Concept Map?

(Answerd by ChatGPT)

A concept map is a visual tool that is used to organize and represent knowledge, ideas, and information in a hierarchical or non-linear way. It is a graphical representation of a network of interconnected concepts, ideas, or themes, and the relationships between them. Concept maps are commonly used in education, particularly in fields such as science, social studies, and language arts, to help students organize and understand complex information.

Concept maps typically consist of nodes or boxes, which represent concepts or ideas, and lines or arrows, which show the relationships between the concepts. The nodes can be labeled with keywords or short phrases, and the lines or arrows can be labeled with connecting words, such as "leads to," "is a type of," or "causes."

Concept maps can be created by individuals or groups, and can be used to facilitate learning, problem-solving, decision-making, and communication. They are a flexible and powerful tool that can be adapted to many different contexts and purposes.

What is Paper2CMap?

Paper2CMap is a package that automatically generates a concept map for a PDF document using LLM. It will first cut the text of the PDF document into sections, then generate concept maps for each section, and finally merge and prune these concept maps to generate a final map for the whole document.

Currently the generated concept map is in JSON format:

[{"source": "source concept", "target": "target concept", "relationship": "relationship between source and target"}]

In future, we will support more formats export, such as LNKG/CXL/SVG.

Quick Start

• An OpenAI API key or Azure OpenAI Service deployment
• Set environment variables:

  # If you are using OpenAI Official Service
  export OPENAI_API_TYPE="openai"
  export OPENAI_API_KEY="<OpenAI API Key>"
  
  # If you are using Azure OpenAI Service
  export OPENAI_API_TYPE="azure"
  export OPENAI_API_BASE="<Azure OpenAI Service Endpoint>"
  export OPENAI_API_KEY="<Azure OpenAI Service Key>"
  

Installation

You can now install Paper2CMap with pip:

pip install paper2cmap

Usage

Now you can easily generate a concept map from a PDF document within 3 lines of code:

from paper2cmap import Paper2CMap

paper2cmap = Paper2CMap(model_name="gpt-3.5-turb")
paper2cmap.load("path/to/paper.pdf")
paper2cmap.generate_cmap()

For more details of the API, please refer to API Reference.

Gradio App

We also host a Gradio App at HuggingFace Space for you to try out Paper2CMap without installing it locally. You can also deploy it to your own server:

pip install gradio
