Using the Single Paper Abstracts feature is very easy and requires only the following steps:
- Ensure that the tool installation and Gemini API key configuration have been completed
- Copy the URL of the abstract page of the paper from the arXiv website (note that it is the abstract page, not the PDF link)
- Go to the project directory in the terminal and run the command: python url_summarize.py
- Follow the prompts to enter the full arXiv paper abstract URL (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.01325)
- Waiting for the program to call the Gemini API to process and return summary results
Some tips and notes on how to use it:
- Must use arXiv summary page URLs, not direct PDF links
- The content of the abstract will vary depending on the complexity of the paper and is usually a 3-5 sentence core idea
- If the API call fails, check that the network connection and API key are valid!
- The summary results can be saved to a file instead of being output from the terminal by modifying the script.
This feature is particularly suited to quickly skimming through a single key paper to understand its core contributions and research findings.
