ArXivist, search and store papers from a command line

In plain words

ArXivist is a command-line tool for searching and storing academic papers from arXiv. It allows researchers and academics to query the arXiv repository and organize papers locally from their terminal. The tool is designed for users who prefer working in command-line environments and need efficient ways to manage their paper collections. It launched in December 2020 and is available on GitHub.

  I made a website to semantically search ArXiv papers2024 · papermatch.mitanshu.tech · ▲324

  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…

  Deep search of all ML papers2024 · app.undermind.ai · ▲109

  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…

  Talk to any ArXiv paper just by changing the URL2023 · github.com · ▲194

  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…

  After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue▲647

  It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March &#x2F; April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox (https:&#x2F;&#x2F;songbox.rocks) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately.…
