Dear Colleagues,
We are working on a proof of concept project where we have a computer recognize and read safety data sheets, to extract data. If you have any scans of paper versions of SDS you are willing to share I would be grateful for your sending them my way. We have trained the computer with brand new pdfs and would like to challenge it with real-world scanned versions...

If you have one or a few, please email them to me at rnvernon**At_Symbol_Here**ucdavis.edu

If you have a LOT, please contact me and we'll figure out a mutually agreeable virtual drive to use.


I do appreciate your sending scans of paper versions of SDS to us to see if we can get the computer to read them...

Thanks,
-Russ
