# Past Conferences Crawler (with LLM)
A Python script that crawls conferences from <https://www.dm.unipi.it/research/past-conferences/> and processes them using a local-run LLM (we used [Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2)) to translate the natural language info to a more structured format (json).
## Installation
Download the LLM model to use, specifically we use [`Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF`](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF):
```bash
# download the model, ~4GB
$ wget https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2-GGUF/blob/main/mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q4_K_M.gguf
```
Install python the requirements:
```bash
# if you want create a venv
$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
# enable gpu support for llama-cpp
$ export CMAKE_ARGS="-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON -DLLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS"
# install requirements
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Launch
The following command will crawl the conferences from `https://www.dm.unipi.it/research/past-conferences/` (pages 1 to 5) and save the results in `conferences.json`:
```bash
$ python main.py
```
The output is a list of json objects, one per line. To display the results with `jq`:
```bash
$ jq -s '.' conferences.json
```
