In this repository, we have used the conference MIE dataset and transformed the affiliation information into a structured form through a pipeline designed with langflow (Fig. 1) using the gpt-3.5-turbo-0125 model. We used a prompt for this purpose and received the outputs in json form. Then we analyzed it
