PFOCR
Pathway Figure OCR (PFOCR) is a resource that extracts biological pathway information from figures in scientific publications using optical character recognition (OCR) and machine learning. PFOCR automatically identifies pathway diagrams in published literature, extracts gene and protein names from pathway figures, and creates structured pathway data. The resource enables discovery of pathway knowledge that exists only in figure format and is not captured in article text or structured databases.
