A fascinating article on NLP was recently published in Patterns. The article describes the use of NLP to perform sentiment analysis of 4,313 scientific abstracts to determine the successes and failures of species reintroduction. For comparison, a similar manual research effort against 361 published articles “required months of effort from highly trained experts just to obtain the raw data, which they then had to analyze.”

This is another example of how AI can achieve remarkable results. The good news is that the AI analysis shows improvements in the endangered species populations!
