name	extract_pdf_content
description	Extracts text and mathematical descriptions from a PDF file to identify specific algorithm parameters and loss functions. This is used to ensure the implementation matches the theoretical definition in the paper.

1. Install necessary extraction tools: pip install pdfplumber.
2. Use a Python script to parse /root/SimPO/paper.pdf.
3. Target sections involving "SimPO", "Loss Function", "Length Normalization", and "Reward Margin".
4. Specifically look for:
   • The formula for $\mathcal{L}_{\text{SimPO}}$.
   • The definition of the reward margin ($\gamma$) and the scaling factor ($\beta$).
   • How length normalization is applied to log probabilities (e.g., dividing by sequence length).
5. Save the extracted text or key formulas to a temporary file or variable for reference during implementation.
