SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Evaluate a robotics paper against the Appendix B rubric (B.1-B.7). Produces scores with evidence, task chain, significance assessment, honesty flags. Use to evaluate, score, grade, or analyze a paper.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical per-paper assessment across B.1-B.7 with evidence and optional human flags.
  • Supports looped evaluations in literature surveys to populate evaluations.jsonl.
  • Generates a task-chain extraction (SIGNIFICANCE → TASK → PROBLEM DEFINITION → CHALLENGE → APPROACH → SCOPE).

Quick Start

Evaluate a robotics paper by running paper-evaluate to generate a structured Appendix B evaluation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate a robotics paper using a structured rubric?

To evaluate a robotics paper, apply the Appendix B rubric (B.1-B.7) to the full text or metadata. This generates structured scores with supporting evidence, task chain extraction, and honesty flags for automated decision making.

What is the task chain extraction process for literature reviews?

Task chain extraction maps a paper's logical flow from SIGNIFICANCE through TASK, PROBLEM DEFINITION, CHALLENGE, APPROACH, to SCOPE. This structured assessment populates evaluation records for systematic literature surveys.

Can I use this approach to populate evaluation records for multiple papers?

Yes, you can run looped evaluations across multiple robotics papers to populate an evaluations.jsonl file. This supports systematic literature surveys by generating canonical per-paper assessments with evidence and optional human flags.

Do I need full text access to score robotics research papers?

You need access to either the full text or metadata of the robotics paper to perform the evaluation. The rubric analyzes this input to produce significance assessments and honesty flags across the B.1-B.7 criteria.

What are honesty flags in paper evaluation?

Honesty flags are markers generated during the rubric evaluation to indicate potential issues or inconsistencies in a robotics paper. They accompany the B.1-B.7 scores and evidence to support automated decision making and literature review accuracy.

When do I need a rubric-based paper evaluation instead of manual review?

You need rubric-based paper evaluation when conducting systematic literature surveys or automated decision making that requires canonical, structured assessments. It ensures consistent scoring across B.1-B.7 criteria with extracted evidence rather than subjective manual review.
