Paloma: A Benchmark for Evaluating Language Model Fit
Language models (LMs) commonly report perplexity on monolithic data held out from training. Implicitly or explicitly, this data is composed of domains$\unicode{x2013}$varying distributions of…
IdeaSynth: Iterative Research Idea Development Through Evolving and Composing Idea Facets with Literature-Grounded Feedback
Research ideation involves broad exploring and deep refining ideas. Both require deep engagement with literature. Existing tools focus primarily on idea broad generation, yet offer little support…
On-the-fly Definition Augmentation of LLMs for Biomedical NER
Despite their general capabilities, LLMs still struggle on biomedical NER tasks, which are difficult due to the presence of specialized terminology and lack of training data. In this work we set out…
Personalized Jargon Identification for Enhanced Interdisciplinary Communication
Scientific jargon can impede researchers when they read materials from other domains. Current methods of jargon identification mainly use corpus-level familiarity indicators (e.g., Simple Wikipedia…
Let's Get to the Point: LLM-Supported Planning, Drafting, and Revising of Research-Paper Blog Posts
Research-paper blog posts help scientists to disseminate their work to a larger audience, but translating scientific long documents into long-form summaries like blog posts raises unique challenges:…
A Design Space for Intelligent and Interactive Writing Assistants
In our era of rapid technological advancement, the research landscape for writing assistants has become increasingly fragmented across various research communities. We seek to address this challenge…
Mitigating Barriers to Public Social Interaction with Meronymous Communication
In communities with social hierarchies, fear of judgment can discourage communication. While anonymity may alleviate some social pressure, fully anonymous spaces enable toxic behavior and hide the…
PaperWeaver: Enriching Topical Paper Alerts by Contextualizing Recommended Papers with User-collected Papers
With the rapid growth of scholarly archives, researchers subscribe to"paper alert"systems that periodically provide them with recommendations of recently published papers that are similar to…
