GROBID just passed 5,000 GitHub stars ⭐ From a 2008 hobby project to the engine behind Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, ResearchGate, Internet Archive Scholar, CERN, and more. 18 years of steady open-source development. No hype, just reliable PDF→structured data at scale. 1/2

This builds on the foundational harvesting work by Patrice Lopez & James Howison (SoftCite project), and is a collaboration with @DFKI, @HUBerlin, @CommonCrawl & Uni Mannheim. Attending LREC? Let's connect!👋 #NLP #ScientificNLP #MultilingualNLP #SciLaD #ScienciaLAB #grobid 5/5

To validate the data quality, we pre-trained SciLaD-M — a RoBERTa encoder trained from scratch on SciLaD. Result: performance comparable to or better than SciBERT across scientific NLP benchmarks, using only openly available data. Open data → open models. 💡 4/5

100

We also release a curated English split of 10M+ documents — filtered and deduplicated — along with the full open-source pipeline so anyone can reproduce or extend the dataset. No black boxes. Full transparency. 🔓 3/5

Scientific NLP needs large, open, high-quality data. SciLaD is our answer: a corpus of Open Access publications harvested from Unpaywall, converted into structured TEI XML using open-source tools. 35M+ multilingual publications across languages and scientific domains. 🌍 2/5

4/ New pluggable NLP engines: Lingua for language identification, Blingfire for sentence segmentation — both available as drop-in alternatives to the existing defaults. 5/6

3/ Revised Crossref consolidation, developed in collaboration with the Crossref team — improved rate limit handling, better error recovery, and more robust reference matching. 4/6

Multi-architecture Docker images (amd64 + arm64) are now available, enabling native deployment on Apple Silicon and ARM cloud instances. 3/6

1/ New extraction coverage: conflict of interest & author contribution statements; figures, tables and equations from back/annex sections; URLs from PDF annotations; ORCID identifiers fetched via Crossref when absent from the source document. 2/ Native Linux ARM64 support. 2/6

I'm please to announce that GROBID 0.9.0 is out. Release notes and highlights below. 1/6

Results are automatically extracted, so always give the output a quick review before dropping it into your .bib file — especially on older or inconsistently formatted references. 6/7

Under the hood it's powered by #Grobid, a battle-tested machine learning library for extracting structured data from scientific documents. The same technology used to process millions of PDFs at scale — now doing one job really well, in one click. 5/7

No tab-switching, no copy-pasting, no reformatting. github.com/user-atta... 4/7

But the real magic is the bookmarklet. Drag it once to your bookmarks bar. Then, on any webpage — a journal site, a preprint server, a bibliography — highlight the citation, click the bookmarklet, and the BibTeX is already in your clipboard. 3/7

100

We built a simple tool to fix exactly this: text2bibtex. The app is simple: paste any plain-text citation and get a clean, ready-to-use BibTeX entry back. github.com/user-atta... 2/7

You found the paper. Now where's the BibTeX? 🧵 It happens every time! You track down the right reference — some older journal article, a conference paper, a preprint — scroll down to "Cite this paper", and get… a plain text citation. 1/7

We tried to carry on without the sharp mind of Patrice Lopez, who is currently immersed in new and exciting challenges. And on a lighter note, we might finally have a logo for Grobid! 4/4

It also enabled us to better coordinate our roadmap, integrating the benefits of advanced Large Language Models while preserving our commitment to enabling processing on standard consumer-grade hardware. 3/4

The meeting was extremely productive and helped us consolidate our community-driven vision for Grobid’s development in the coming years. 2/4

On the 26-27 November we held the #Grobid Camp at the Centre de #Inria Paris. The goal was to have a meeting with the major players in the French community which spaces from government institutes, to companies and large scale projects. 1/4
