Deep learning is a form of artificial intelligence transforming society by teaching computers to process information using artificial neural networks that mimic the human brain. It is now used in facial recognition, self-driving cars and even in the playing of complex games like Go. In general, the success of deep learning has depended on using large datasets of labeled images for training purposes.
A potential gold mine of labeled images resides within scientific literature, with over a million articles published each year. Most have many figures woven into the text. To date, these figures have not been amenable to deep learning models. This is, in part, due to their complex layouts. Each figure typically contains multiple embedded images, graphs and illustrations. Also lacking has been an adequate means to search the literature for images matching specific content.
