LitAtlas -- Literature Atlas Viewer

This project provides a local paper-relation viewer to manage and present relations between papers.

Due to the tremendous growth of research, it is hard for us to keep track of every paper's information. With a graph-based viewer, it will be easier for us to derive the connection between each paper of interest.

Functions

• Graph View

  • Present paper as node
  • Present edge as similarity
  • Zoom in/out
  • Show HashTag connections between papers.
  • If two nodes' don't have similarity from LLM, the viewer will show the similarity from HashTag.

• Paper information

  • Add paper
  • Delete paper
  • Edit paper
  • Upload PDF

• Similarity between Papers

  • Using hashtag (cosine similarity)
  • Using LLM
    • Simple usage. (Concate the selected information in on string.)
