# بيان bayan

**Bring clarity to research papers.**

`bayan` is a Python library that extracts structured, meaningful information from academic PDFs — including metadata, sections, references, tables, and figures — with clean, consistent output formats.

Designed for researchers, developers, and data scientists who need to transform unstructured papers into readable or machine-processable data.

✨ **Features:** Runs locally, requires no API keys (optional LLM integration available), and works with any research PDF.

---

## Features

| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| 🧾 **Metadata Extraction** | Title, authors, affiliations, DOI, publication year |
| 📑 **Section Detection** | Identify Abstract, Introduction, Methodology, Results, Discussion, Conclusion |
| 🔍 **Reference Parsing** | Extract and format citations into structured JSON |
| 📊 **Table & Figure Extraction** | Detect and extract tables with context and captions |
| 🐼 **pandas DataFrames** | Convert tables to DataFrames for easy analysis |
| 📈 **matplotlib Plotting** | Visualize figures directly with matplotlib |
| 🧹 **Text Cleaning** | Normalize spacing, remove artifacts, preserve layout |
| 💾 **Exports** | JSON, Markdown, CSV, TXT, and BibTeX |
| 🧠 **Optional AI Layer** | Summarization and paper-type detection via OpenAI, Claude, or local models |

---

## Installation

### Basic Installation

```bash
pip install bayan
```

### With LLM Support

```bash
# For OpenAI/Claude integration
pip install bayan[llm]

# For HuggingFace models
pip install bayan[ml]

# Everything
pip install bayan[all]
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/atomicKhalil/bayan.git
cd bayan

```

---

## Quick Start

### Basic Usage

```python
from bayan import Paper

# Load a paper
paper = Paper("research_paper.pdf")

# Extract metadata
meta = paper.extract_metadata()
print(f"Title: {meta['title']}")
print(f"Authors: {', '.join(meta['authors'])}")
print(f"Year: {meta['year']}")

# Extract sections
sections = paper.extract_sections()
print("\nAbstract:")
print(sections.get("abstract", "Not found"))

# Extract references
references = paper.extract_references()
print(f"\nFound {len(references)} references")

# Extract tables and figures
tables = paper.extract_tables()
figures = paper.extract_figures()
print(f"Tables: {len(tables)}, Figures: {len(figures)}")

# Export everything
paper.export("json", "output.json")
paper.export("markdown", "output.md")
```

### With Context Manager

```python
from bayan import Paper

with Paper("paper.pdf") as paper:
    data = paper.extract_all()
    paper.export("json", "paper_data.json")
```

### Export Formats

```python
paper = Paper("paper.pdf")

# JSON (structured data)
paper.export("json", "paper.json")

# Markdown (readable format)
paper.export("markdown", "paper.md")

# CSV (flattened data)
paper.export("csv", "paper.csv")

# Plain text
paper.export("txt", "paper.txt")
```

---

## Advanced Features

### LLM Integration

Enable AI-powered summarization and classification:

```python
from bayan import Paper

paper = Paper("paper.pdf")

# Enable OpenAI
paper.enable_llm(provider="openai", api_key="sk-...")

# Summarize a section
summary = paper.summarize("methodology", max_length=150)
print(summary)

# Classify the paper
classification = paper.classify()
print(f"Type: {classification['paper_type']}")
print(f"Domain: {classification['domain']}")
```

#### Supported LLM Providers

```python
# OpenAI
paper.enable_llm(provider="openai", api_key="sk-...")

# Anthropic Claude
paper.enable_llm(provider="anthropic", api_key="sk-ant-...")

# HuggingFace
paper.enable_llm(provider="huggingface", model_name="facebook/bart-large-cnn")

# Local (Ollama)
paper.enable_llm(provider="local", base_url="http://localhost:11434", model_name="llama2")
```

### Extract Specific Elements

```python
paper = Paper("paper.pdf")

# Get just the abstract
abstract = paper.extract_abstract()

# Get a quick summary
summary = paper.get_paper_summary()

# Extract specific table
table = paper.table_extractor.extract_table_by_number("1")

# Export table to CSV
csv_data = paper.table_extractor.export_table_to_csv("1")
```

### Working with Sections

```python
sections = paper.extract_sections()

# Available sections (when detected)
print(sections.keys())
# ['abstract', 'introduction', 'methodology', 'results', 'conclusion', ...]

# Access specific sections
print(sections['abstract'])
print(sections['methodology'])
```

### Tables as pandas DataFrames

**NEW FEATURE!** Convert tables to pandas DataFrames for easy analysis:

```python
from bayan import Paper

paper = Paper("paper.pdf")

# Get a specific table as DataFrame
df = paper.table_extractor.get_table_as_dataframe("1")
print(df)

# Access metadata
print(df.attrs['caption'])  # Table caption
print(df.attrs['page'])     # Page number

# Use all pandas operations
print(df.describe())
print(df.head())
df.to_csv("table_1.csv")

# Get all tables as DataFrames
tables_df = paper.table_extractor.get_all_tables_as_dataframes()
for table_num, df in tables_df.items():
    print(f"Table {table_num}: {df.shape}")
```

### Plot Figures with matplotlib

**NEW FEATURE!** Visualize figures directly from the PDF:

```python
from bayan import Paper

paper = Paper("paper.pdf")

# Plot a specific figure
fig = paper.table_extractor.plot_figure(
    "1",                      # Figure number
    figsize=(12, 8),          # Size in inches
    save_path="figure1.png"   # Save location (optional)
)

# Plot all figures
figs = paper.table_extractor.plot_all_figures(
    figsize=(10, 8),
    save_dir="figures/"  # Save to directory
)

# Save raw image
paper.table_extractor.save_figure_image("1", "fig1_raw.png")
```

**Installation for DataFrame & Plotting Features:**
```bash
pip install pandas matplotlib Pillow
```

## Use Cases

### Research Workflows

```python
from bayan import Paper
import glob

# Process multiple papers
papers = glob.glob("papers/*.pdf")

results = []
for pdf_path in papers:
    paper = Paper(pdf_path)
    meta = paper.extract_metadata()
    results.append({
        "title": meta["title"],
        "authors": meta["authors"],
        "year": meta["year"]
    })

# Create bibliography
import json
with open("bibliography.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(results, f, indent=2)
```

### Literature Review

```python
from bayan import Paper

# Extract key information
paper = Paper("paper.pdf")
paper.enable_llm(provider="openai", api_key="...")

# Get structured summary
summary = paper.get_paper_summary()
abstract = paper.extract_abstract()

# Export to markdown for notes
paper.export("markdown", "notes.md")
```

### Data Extraction

```python
from bayan import Paper

# Extract tables for analysis
paper = Paper("paper.pdf")
tables = paper.extract_tables()

# Export each table
for table in tables:
    csv_data = paper.table_extractor.export_table_to_csv(table["number"])
    with open(f"table_{table['number']}.csv", "w") as f:
        f.write(csv_data)
```

| **Modular** | Use or extend specific modules independently |
| **Universal** | Works on any research PDF, regardless of layout |
| **Transparent** | Clean, interpretable JSON outputs |
| **Expandable** | Optional LLM interface for advanced features |
