Section 03

Core Functions and Design Goals

An intelligent web application for academic researchers. Its design goals are to automatically analyze content after PDF upload, extract key information page by page, and generate structured summaries; optimized for the format and language characteristics of academic papers, it can identify core contributions, methodological innovations, and experimental conclusions
