AGOURA HILLS, Calif., July 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncotelic Therapeutics, Inc (OTCQB:OTLC) ("Oncotelic", the "Company" or "We" or “Our”), announced today that Product Manager Scott Myers, working through GMP Biotechnology Limited, our 45% Joint Venture with Dragon Capital Limited, will be presenting at the 2nd Global Summit on Artificial Intelligence. The summit, which is being hosted digitally, is centered on the theme “Pioneering the New Era: Advancing Global Development through Artificial Intelligence.” A copy of the presentation will be made public after the summit. “I am honored to be presenting. The PubMed Corpus Builder is just one of the tools we have developed that our scientists use regularly. We are proud to be pioneering cutting-edge technology throughout our company,” said Scott Myers, Product Manager. Title: Using AI to Autonomously Find and Retrieve Large Amounts of Specific Medical Papers for Use in Cancer Research and Development Abstract: The PubMed Corpus Builder, part of the Orion AI Suite developed by Scott Myers and others at Sapu Bioscience LLC, is designed to create a comprehensive document corpus from the PubMed Central Database based on one broad user given query and specified parameters. It utilizes LLMs to generate multiple search queries aimed at retrieving a wide range of unique documents. After downloading, vector search refines the document selection, allowing for advanced filtering, such as identifying documents with specific types of graphs, which standard search engines cannot achieve. The documents can then queried using multimodal technology, enabling the LLM to view and interpret graphs and charts as images, thus adding another level of detail to answers. Additionally, the system can conveniently email both the PubMed URLs and actual PDF files to users. The PubMed Corpus Builder dramatically speeds up the research process, allowing scientists to efficiently find and filter through hundreds of documents in minutes.
