We chat with Sean Rife, who the co-founder of scite.ai, a start-up that combines natural language processing with a network of experts to evaluate the veracity of scientific work.

Grobid - A machine learning library for extracting, parsing and re-structuring PDFs Meta-analysis can prop up flawed bodies of literature The "Too meta" XKCD cartoon What’s the end game for scite? The 80,000 hours game Spooner, a utility that allows authors of scientific publications to make their work available to the general public (probably) without violating publishing agreements Other links [Sean on twitter](www.twitter.com/seanrife) [Dan on twitter](www.twitter.com/dsquintana) [James on twitter](www.twitter.com/jamesheathers) [Everything Hertz on twitter](www.twitter.com/hertzpodcast) [Everything Hertz on Facebook](www.facebook.com/everythinghertzpodcast/) Music credits: [Lee Rosevere](freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/) Support us on Patreon and get bonus stuff! $1 a month or more: Monthly newsletter + Access to behind-the-scenes photos & video via the Patreon app + the the warm feeling you're supporting the show $5 a month or more: All the stuff you get in the $1 tier PLUS a bonus mini episode every month (extras + the bits we couldn't include in our regular episodes) Episode citation and permanent link Quintana, D.S., Heathers, J.A.J.
