• Abstract: Screening is a time-consuming and labour-intensive yet required task for medical systematic reviews, as tens of thousands of studies often need to be screened. Prioritising relevant studies to be screened allows downstream systematic review creation tasks to start earlier and save time. In previous work, we developed a dense retrieval method to prioritise relevant studies with reviewer feedback during the title and abstract screening stage. Our method outperforms previous active learning methods in both effectiveness and efficiency. In this demo, we extend this prior work by creating (1) a web-based screening tool that enables end-users to screen studies exploiting state-of-the-art methods and (2) a Python library that integrates models and feedback mechanisms and allows researchers to develop and demonstrate new active learning methods. We describe the tool's design and showcase how it can aid screening. The tool is available at https://densereviewer.ielab.io. The source code is also open sourced at https://github.com/ielab/densereviewer.

• Dense Retrieval with Continuous Explicit Feedback for Systematic Review Screening Prioritisation [28.80089773616623]
  The goal of screening prioritisation in systematic reviews is to identify relevant documents with high recall and rank them in early positions for review. Recent studies have shown that neural models have good potential on this task, but their time-consuming fine-tuning and inference discourage their widespread use for screening prioritisation. We propose an alternative approach that still relies on neural models, but leverages dense representations and relevance feedback to enhance screening prioritisation.

We validate the advantage of end-to-end learning over head-only learning and observe up to 11% performance improvement.
