SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

DeepXiv helps you discover and understand academic literature without downloading and reading full papers all at once, so you can move from uncertainty to targeted section-level insight faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered literature access: search → brief → head → specific section reads to control how much content you consume.
  • Discovery modes: query-based search, trending papers, web search, and Semantic Scholar metadata by ID.
  • Token-efficient research workflow: escalate reading depth only when needed and use section-level extraction for focus.

Quick Start

Ask DeepXiv to find and summarize a paper by arXiv ID: "Use /deepxiv 2409.05591 - brief".

FAQPage Schema
How do I efficiently read academic papers without loading the entire full text?

Progressive reading allows efficient academic paper comprehension by retrieving search results, briefs, heads, and specific sections for arXiv and Semantic Scholar IDs. You escalate reading depth only when needed, moving from brief summaries to targeted section-level extraction to control content consumption and save tokens.

What is the best way to find trending research papers on arXiv?

Finding trending research papers is done using the trending mode flag. This discovery mode retrieves currently trending papers, allowing you to monitor research trends and perform literature discovery without manually querying or loading full documents.

How do I extract a specific section from an arXiv paper?

To extract a specific section, provide the arXiv ID along with the section mode flag. This retrieves targeted section-level insight from the paper, enabling focus on specific parts of the document rather than loading the entire full paper at once.

Can I use Semantic Scholar IDs to retrieve paper briefs and metadata?

Yes, Semantic Scholar IDs are supported using the sc mode flag. This retrieves paper briefs and metadata by ID, streamlining literature review workflows and targeted reading where full-paper loading is inefficient.

Do I need any specific SDK or command line tool to use DeepXiv?

DeepXiv requires the DeepXiv SDK or CLI availability to function. It applies to literature review and trend monitoring workflows, supporting mode flags like brief, head, section, trending, web, and sc, and prefers an optional adapter fetcher with a fallback cascade.

What are the limitations of layered literature access for research discovery?

Layered literature access is limited when full-paper loading is inefficient, focusing on brief, head, and section retrieval rather than complete text. It is not suitable when comprehensive full-text analysis is required, as it prioritizes token-efficient research workflows and progressive comprehension over exhaustive document parsing.
