GPT-4 Research Assistant

The GPT-4 Research Assistant is a tool designed to leverage the power of GPT-4 in assisting with academic research. It searches for academic papers on ArXiv, identifies the most promising paper based on a given search term, downloads the paper, extracts its contents, and then summarizes it. The tool also suggests a new search term for subsequent research.

Features:

  • Search ArXiv Papers: Queries the ArXiv database for academic papers based on a given search term.
  • Paper Selection: Utilizes GPT-4 to choose the most interesting and promising paper from the search results.
  • PDF Download: Downloads the selected paper in PDF format.
  • Content Extraction: Extracts text from the downloaded PDF paper.
  • Paper Summary: Summarizes the paper using GPT-4 and suggests a new search term for future research.

How to Use:

  1. Setup:

    • Ensure you have the required libraries installed (requests, and any other necessary libraries).
    • Setup the required API keys and configurations for GPT-4.
  2. Running the Tool:

    • Set the initial search term (default is "coding ability of large language models").
    • Determine how many turns or iterations you'd like the tool to perform (default is 3).
    • Run the script.
  3. Output:

    • The tool will print the title of the selected paper and its summary.
    • A new search term will be suggested for the next iteration.

Limitations:

  • The tool is currently set to retrieve a maximum of 10 papers from ArXiv per search.
  • The content extraction is limited to the first 20,000 characters of the paper.
  • The tool depends on external libraries and tools which need to be set up correctly.
