we don't send raw paper sections to the paper or simply compressed summaries. we send simple explanations of the method used (for the human user), implementation instructions for the coding agent, and benchmarks to compare methods. we&

yes works for multi-modal for every single paper, we describe the method and when it is relevant; we give our final recommendation on whether a certain technique would work for your use-case; ultimately we make it easy for you to understand

you should checkout paperlantern.ai , our main website - it already has biomedcine search over 45M+ papers :) if you want MCP access to it, we can definitely do it - let us know

for now, we are covering all of Computer Science - most techniques that are code-able likely show up there - but yes, if it is impactful we are open to expanding to other nearby domains too :)

yes :) this is exactly what we are aiming for - that you can apply your ideas and imagination, without having to be an expert in everything. most applications need expertise in multiple areas to work but you might have some great ideas in a

we've been working on search for over a year now - it's a complex hybrid system now. so it does use primitives like word-based search and embeddings etc. but it's power comes from a unqiue combination of all these and more te

we've run a few tests for this. The first was quite innovative - we created a mapping of method-to-target-problem by using the papers themselves because each paper says which problems it's methods target. Then we checked whether o

yes - it instructs the coding agent to maintain a markdown file for the outputs from paper lantern, which the coding agent can refer to later. it also asks the coding agent to record whether the human user accepted the suggestion or not. th

Yes - that's a pain, especially because different papers often use different test sets, test settings or different metrics. What we do is find benchmarks across papers; aggregate them, highlight what is comparable and what is not actua

The best engineering knowledge is locked in research papers. Paper Lantern unlocks it for your code. Paper Lantern is an MCP server that distills 2M+ CS research papers into the right method for your problem — its tradeoffs, benchmarks, and
