Extract Algorithm

Identify, document, and translate algorithms from research papers into structured pseudocode for implementation planning.

When to Use

  • •Converting paper algorithms to code
  • •Understanding computational complexity
  • •Planning implementation steps
  • •Documenting algorithm variations

Quick Reference

bash
# Extract text from PDF focusing on algorithms
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -A 20 -i "algorithm\|pseudocode" | head -50

# Convert pseudo-code to structured documentation
# Use cleaner formatting with numbered steps

Workflow

  1. •Locate algorithm: Find algorithm description, pseudocode, or flowchart in paper
  2. •Document steps: Extract numbered steps or pseudocode from paper
  3. •Identify inputs/outputs: List parameters, preconditions, postconditions
  4. •Note special cases: Document edge cases and conditional logic
  5. •Translate to implementation plan: Convert to implementation checklist

Output Format

Algorithm documentation:

  • •Algorithm name and source reference
  • •Inputs (parameters, data types, constraints)
  • •Outputs (return values, side effects)
  • •Pseudocode or step-by-step description
  • •Complexity analysis (time and space)
  • •Special cases and error handling
  • •Implementation notes and tips
