      do you plan on adding descriptions of figures and tables?

        will probably focus on getting the text out of the papers first, figures might be a good next step after that

  The example you give doesn't seem to work - the raw txt does not have authors.

  This would be awesome wrapped in an MCP server/tool call :)

  If you train an LLM on only formally verified code, it should not be expected to generate formally verified code.

  Similarly, if you train an LLM on only published ScholarlyArticles ['s abstracts], it should not be expected to generate publishable or true text.

  Traceability for Retraction would be necessary to prevent lossy feedback.
