Hi everyone!

Sharing Ai2 Paper Finder, a new LLM-powered tool from the Allen Institute for AI (Ai2) for academic literature search. What's interesting is its approach: it tries to mimic how a human researcher actually finds papers, going beyond simple keyword matching.

Instead of just returning results, Paper Finder:

  1. Analyzes your natural language query.

  2. Plans a search strategy.

  3. Iteratively Searches: Runs queries, follows citations, evaluates results.

  4. Refines: Uses findings to run follow-up queries.

  5. Summarizes: Presents relevant papers with explanations of why they match your specific need.

The goal is to surface those hard-to-find, niche papers that basic search often misses, especially when you have a complex research question. It uses LLMs throughout the process for analysis, planning, and judging relevance.  

See what insightful stuff you can find with !

Ai2 Paper Finder sounds like a thoughtful leap forward for academic search, bringing nuance and context to a space that’s often too rigid. Excited to see how it improves discovery for researchers digging deep into complex topics.
