    As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

    Built an automated system to run a deep search of ArXiv and carefully find all the precise papers that exist on a complex topic. It's different from simple RAG because it searches, classifies, and adapts based on relevant papers it uncovers, and then continues until it finds every paper on a topic (trying to mimic the human research process). Benchmarked 10x higher accuracy and total retrieval compared to Google Scholar for a median search (whitepaper on website). Also knows when it is complete, and misses virtually nothing (< 3% or so, once it's converged). Website has a free trial and a…

    I built this yesterday to help understand papers I'm interested in. It's using the gemini 2.5 flash lite model, but you can run it yourself[1] and switch to 2.5 pro for better results. Happy to answer any questions or take suggestions on how I can improve it! 1. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;montanaflynn&#x2F;asxiv

    Hi HN! Open Paper allows you to annotate and understand your research papers with an AI copilot. I wanted a paper-reading assistant that let met actually dig into papers in-place while benefiting from AI tooling. When it comes to studying, I'm not a fan of the typical chat interfaces that obfuscate uploaded files and turn them into black box 'content'. Hence, I've implemented a split-pane view. To mitigate the risk of hallucinations, all AI responses come with grounded citations that refer back to the source material in-flow. Some feature highlights: - Actually read your papers in one place…

    As a CS undergrad, I self-taught many topics not covered by the school. Typically awesome list is where I started with. I spent my second half in college researching computer vision and machine learning. CVPR accepts over 2000 papers every year, not to mention arXiv. The awesome lists curated by the community usually serve as checklists when I was doing literature surveys. But since the number of the list items was overwhelming, I had to prioritize which papers to read first. Many of them had been uploaded to arXiv in the last few months, so I had no clue how many citations they would get.…

    Hello HN, Talk2Arxiv is a small open-source RAG application I've been building for a few weeks. To use it just prepend any arxiv.org link with 'talk2' to load the paper into a responsive RAG chat application (e.g. www.arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1706.03762 -> www.talk2arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1706.03762). All implementation details are in the GitHub. Currently, because I've opted to extract text from the PDF of the paper rather than reading the LaTeX source code (since I wanted to build a more generic PDF RAG in the process), it struggles with symbolic text &#x2F; mathematics, and sometimes fails…

    Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv-feed.vercel.app&#x2F; It's basically a feed of AI research papers + a one-liner explaining what problem its solving, etc. You can also click on any paper to get a TL;DR. Right now, I've only indexed a few hundred large language model papers, but will expand to indexing AI papers in other topics. Thinking of also adding a way for people to up-vote&#x2F;down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts&#x2F;feedback! :D Thanks!

    Hi HN, As a researcher, I often found myself struggling with the limitations of keyword-based search when exploring PubMed papers. To address this, I created PubMed Search (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pubmedisearch.com&#x2F;), a tool that leverages a vector database to enable semantic search across medical research literature. Some key features: * Daily updates to ensure access to the latest articles * Semantic search using latest & greatest embedding models * Some additional useful info about the papers (tldr, journal, publication date, etc.) Hope you find it useful!

    Hey HN! I built arXiv News (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv-news.com) – a discussion space for research papers. The problem: I browse arXiv constantly for new papers, but there's nowhere good to discuss them. Twitter is chaotic, Reddit is fragmented, and arXiv itself has no comments. So I cloned HN's design (using https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;clintonwoo&#x2F;hackernews-react-graphql) and applied it to arXiv. Upvote papers, comment, sort by hot&#x2F;new&#x2F;discussed, filter by category, post ideas&#x2F;papers you've found. A daily scraper pulls all new papers automatically. I'd love to hear…

    A few weeks ago I posted an early version of this. It was just an MCP doing web search for AI assistants. Since then it evolved rapidly. The problem I kept running into is that when I use an LLM for research, it gives me citations that look right but aren't most of the time. Sometimes the paper doesn't exist. Sometimes it does exist but it's been retracted. Most times the sources are not fully vetted nor truly relevant to my search. I got tired of checking these manually. That's why I built this updated MCP. It looks the work up in Crossref to confirm it's real. It checks the Retraction…

    I needed a way to grab a random paper from arXiv, so I built one and wanted to share it with you. It 1) picks a random topic (of all the cs., econ., math.* etc. topics) 2) finds the maximum amount of papers in that topic, and 3) queries for a random paper in that topic. Note that this skews the distribution heavily in favor of topics that are less common, but it should get the job done. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

    Since August I’ve been running a scoring system that tracks and ranks every new AI-related paper published on arXiv. The goal is to detect genuine research events, things that move the field forward and filter out the usual noise and unsubstantiated uploads. Each paper gets evaluated through a scoring algorithm. The system then stores embeddings with structured fields like problem, approach, solution, and result for later retrieval. Search runs on a hybrid model: it combines semantic embeddings with metadata like title, topic, author, and extracted keywords. Queries return the most relevant…

    Hey HN, I built PaperLens ([thepaperlens.com](https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thepaperlens.com&#x2F;)) after one too many frustrating sessions trying to find what I actually needed in academic research. Whether I was doing a literature review, trying to quickly find a solid source to back up a point in a discussion, or just attempting to understand a complex subject, traditional keyword searches often felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. PaperLens uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and the latest AI models to provide more precise, semantic search results. It also has an AI chatbot that…
