QUAESITOR

QUAESITOR locates Latin scientific names in Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish text (approximately 96% of biodiversity titles). It uses a combination of pattern matching (regular expressions), a Bloom filter, and a trio of complementary ensembled neural networks. A live version of the web interface is hosted at the New York Botanical Garden.
