Overview

About

Maintained by Vasco V. BrancoFirst published 2025-10-202 releasesCRAN page ↗

A Python based pipeline for extraction of species occurrence data through the usage of large language models. Includes validation tools designed to handle model hallucinations for a scientific, rigorous use of LLM. Currently supports usage of GPT with more planned, including local and non-proprietary models. For more details on the methodology used please consult the references listed under each function, such as Kent, A. et al. (1995) doi:10.1002/asi.5090060209, van Rijsbergen, C.J.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("arete", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-arete

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-arete

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
