Academorphic -- automated literature reviews
Academorphic, a tool for university students working on their dissertation, is designed to simplify the process of writing literature reviews. It's a fork of Morphic (GitHub). Academorphic gathers, summarises, and answers questions about academic papers, then generates a PDF literature review for you.
I built it as part of the Bath Hack 2024 with my two teammates: Arnau Ayerbe and Varniethan Ketheeswaran.
Features
Title-Based Search on ArXiv: Academorphic starts by asking for the title of your dissertation or research paper. Using this title, it searches the ArXiv database, a repository of pre-print papers, to find relevant literature.
Summarization and Analysis: Once the relevant papers are found, Academorphic summarizes the key points of each paper. It then uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to answer specific questions about the literature.
Interactive Follow-Up Queries: If the title you provide is too vague or broad, Academorphic prompts you with follow-up questions to narrow down the search.
PDF Generation: After compiling and analyzing the relevant literature, Academorphic allows you to generate a PDF of your literature review with a click.
We used a new React library made by Vercel to build the UI. It lets you directly connect streamed LLM responses to React components, so you get snappy responses. Here's a link:
