Process flow for NLP libraries inventory. The figure describes the review process followed for developing the “NLP libraries inventory for drug discovery and development.” A total of 47 libraries were identified from Google scholar resources. Out of these, 7 libraries for speech processing were excluded from further screening. Out of the remaining 40 libraries, 20 were found to be used in different biomedical or biochemical applications. The websites, github repositories, and publications on the libraries were reviewed and the libraries were analyzed for the presence or absence of 14 features. These features were selected based on the most used NLP functionalities in the drug discovery and development space.
