Citation needed
Citation Needed is a fact verification assistant that allows you to find relevant sources and citations to a given claim.
Specifically, we begin with a information database, where each claim or fact is substantiated with a reference. From there, a query claim can be used with semantic search to find relevant sentences, and hence the citations of them.
This application can be useful to a variety of audiences, from researchers looking to more efficiently browse through papers, teachers looking to better fact check essays, to even students looking to find more reading material. We believe that Citation Needed can be a powerful tool if scaled up fully.
The current demo has a "Narrow" mode, which only contains topics related to neural networks, and a "General" mode, which scrapes for additional information on the fly, after extracting important subjects through the use of the cohere text generation API.
