A research workspace for ingesting, exploring, and reasoning over academic papers.
PaperLens brings search, reading, concept mapping, flashcards, and corpus-grounded chat into one deliberate environment instead of spreading the workflow across notebooks, PDFs, and external tools.
Preserve the proven Streamlit workflows, but give them better structure, motion, and room to grow.
Responsive filter rail, persistent bookmarks, embedded PDF preview, and richer knowledge views.
Mind maps use an explorable graph canvas; flashcards become a focused deck instead of a static widget.
Research paper repository
Browse ingested papers, filter by research category, inspect processing status, and keep frequently referenced work close at hand.
Structured knowledge access
Generate concept maps and study flashcards directly from indexed chunks to move from reading to synthesis faster.
Retrieval-augmented chat
Ask questions over the corpus with source-aware responses, configurable retrieval depth, and live streaming output.
What is PaperLens?
PaperLens is a research-focused workspace designed to organize, explore, and reason over academic papers efficiently.
System architecture
The UI mirrors the current backend topology and stays stateless outside local browser preferences like bookmarks.
