After waiting 8 months for a journal response or two months for co-author feedback that consisted of "looks good" and a single comma change, we built an AI-powered peer review system that helps researchers improve their manuscripts rapidly before submission. The system uses multiple specialized agents to analyze different aspects of scientific papers, from methodology to writing quality. Key features: 24 specialized agents analyzing sections, scientific rigor, and writing quality // Detailed feedback with actionable recommendations. // PDF report generation. //…

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…

Building a multi-agent system to analyze new AI research papers from 3 distinct perspectives: - Deep learning researcher agent: extract interesting deep learning methods that are related to paper - Theoretical mathematician agent: figure out theoretical mathematical concepts that are important in this paper and additional theoretical references that will be useful in understanding it - Skeptic agent: find unjustified assumptions that lack supporting evidence For this mvp, I used low-code agent platform StackAI (YC W23) and wrote about my process:…

Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https://arxiv-feed.vercel.app/ 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/down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts/feedback! :D Thanks!
