| # Inkling: AI-assisted research discovery | |
| [**Inkling**](https://nomadicsynth-research-compass.hf.space) is an AI-assisted tool that helps you discover meaningful connections between research papers — the kind of links a domain expert might spot, if they had time to read everything. | |
| Rather than relying on superficial similarity or shared keywords, Inkling is trained to recognize **reasoning-based relationships** between papers. It evaluates conceptual, methodological, and application-level connections — even across disciplines — and surfaces links that may be overlooked due to the sheer scale of the research landscape. | |
| This demo uses the first prototype of the model, trained on a dataset of **10,000+ rated abstract pairs**, built from a larger pool of arXiv triplets. The system will continue to improve with feedback and will be released alongside the dataset for public research. | |

| ## What it does | |
| - Accepts a research abstract, idea, or question | |
| - Searches for papers with **deep, contextual relevance** | |
| - Highlights key conceptual links and application overlaps | |
| - Offers reasoning-based analysis between selected papers | |
| - Gathers user feedback to improve the model over time | |

| ## Why Inkling? | |
| > Because the right connection is often obvious — once someone points it out. | |
| Researchers today are overwhelmed by volume. Inkling helps restore those missed-but-meaningful links between ideas, methods, and fields — links that could inspire new directions, clarify existing work, or enable cross-pollination across domains. | |

| ## Status | |
| Inkling is in **alpha** and under active development. The current model is hosted via Gradio, with a Hugging Face Space available for live interaction and feedback. Contributions, feedback, and collaboration are welcome. | |
