There is a new "paper search artifact" plug- in on ChatGPT called "Consensus". Highlight the key points: instead of listing keywords, just use one sentence to describe the problem you want to know, such as "what are the benefits of xxxx", "what is the impact of xx on xx".
Large model research test portal
GPT-4 portal (no wall, can be tested directly, if you encounter the browser warning point, just advance/continue accessing):
https://gpt4test.com
It can search and sort out answers from 200 million papers : each point is attached with a link to the paper.
You can even write a simple review based on your question: of course, it is also by summarizing relevant research, and links to the papers will be attached.
The most important thing is that unlike ChatGPT, which sometimes makes up fake links, the papers provided by Consensus can definitely be found (all peer-reviewed).
With it, it is not too convenient to find papers~
specific usage
Let's look at the specific usage, a total of four.
01. Given a question, give the answer by summarizing the research of each paper
For example, the official example: "What are the benefits of mindfulness meditation?" It will answer the question with a list, that is, 1234 listed benefits, and each benefit is backed by a paper.
02. Given a topic, write a brief review with the viewpoints of each paper, and give the source
For example: "Write me a discussion about the impact of climate change on GDP, and attach citations." As you can see, the answer given by the plug-in is relatively comprehensive, listing the conclusions of 5 studies and giving each specific data.
03. Search papers without keyword matching
No specific keywords are needed, you just tell it what topic you want, and it will throw you a bunch of papers, and each paper includes the author, year, journal, and one-sentence summary . For example: "Find me 5 papers on how immigration affects the economy", the answer given by the plugin is this:
04. Citing papers, researching and writing SEO-friendly blogs
A prompt like “Write an SEO-friendly blog discussing whether CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) can treat fear, including a link to a peer-reviewed paper.” The answer given by the plug-in has a good title and a good introduction to the topic at the beginning.
The text (What the Research Says) is not much different from the previous one, and it lists and summarizes the viewpoints of the paper. Finally, a brief summary, and a reminder: be sure to refer to the original research paper for a comprehensive understanding of balabala. With some polishing and expansion on this basis, a blog can indeed come out. So, how do you get this plugin? As long as you are a distinguished Plus user, go to the "Plugin store" and search for "Consensus" to install it.
About Consensus
Just as OpenAI allows developers to make third-party plug-ins, which can be officially launched after review, Consensus comes from "third-party companies." The company, which bears the same name as the plug-in, was founded around 2021. The core team has ex-employees from Google, Waymo, Amazon.
Consensus's own product is for paper search, and it was trained on tens of thousands of papers annotated by PhDs. Source data comes from Semantic Scholar and is updated monthly. The official website looks like this, and the current functions are still in the beta testing stage.
Just give a question, and the search results are as follows. The latest paper is from 2019.
If you don't have a ChatGPT plus membership, it's worth using the site alone to do some scientific searches. The official website also gives some best ways to ask questions and negative cases, and those who are interested can refer to them.
