How can I get into ML natural language analysis?

Scientist here who's doing a metascientific paper that involves looking over thousands of journal articles from several fields.
I don't want to force a team of RA's to look through dozens of papers and analyse each one.
I've never worked with ML, but I'd like to train a programme to be able to do this role. Any suggestions for how I can get into the field?
