    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…

    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/abs/1706.03762 -> www.talk2arxiv.org/abs/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 / mathematics, and sometimes fails…

    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.

    Just change arxiv.org to arxiv-txt.org in the URL to get the paper info in markdown Example: Original URL: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1706.03762 Change to: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv-txt.org&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1706.03762 To fetch the raw text directly, use https:&#x2F;&#x2F;arxiv-txt.org&#x2F;raw&#x2F;abs&#x2F;1706.03762, this will be particularly useful for APIs and agents

    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.

    I got tired of copy-pasting arXiv PDFs &#x2F; HTML into LLMs and fighting references, TOCs, and token bloat. So I basically made gitingest.com but for arxiv papers. You can just append "2md" to any arxiv URL (with HTML support), and you'll be given a clean markdown version, and the ability to trim what you wish very easily (ie cut out references, or appendix, etc.)
