# --- APP DESCRIPTION & PURPOSE ---
"""
DEEPRESEARCH AI: AUTOMATED LITERATURE REVIEW ASSISTANT
PROBLEM THIS APP SOLVES:
Academic researchers and students spend countless hours conducting literature reviews:
- Manually searching through hundreds of papers on arXiv, Google Scholar, etc.
- Reading abstracts and papers to identify key contributions
- Synthesizing trends, methodologies, and research gaps
- Creating visualizations to understand the research landscape
This process is time-consuming, repetitive, and often overwhelming, especially for
emerging fields with rapid publication rates.
HOW THIS APP SOLVES IT:
DeepResearch AI automates the initial literature review process by:
1. Automatically fetching recent papers from arXiv for any research topic
2. Analyzing each paper to extract key contributions, methodologies, and insights
3. Generating a comprehensive research summary with trends and gaps
4. Creating interactive visualizations of the research landscape
5. Providing a structured table of analyzed papers for quick reference
TARGET USERS:
- Graduate students starting new research projects
- Academics exploring new research domains
- Research scientists conducting literature surveys
- AI enthusiasts staying updated with latest developments
TECHNICAL STACK:
- NLP: Hugging Face Transformers, Sentence-BERT, KeyBERT
- Data Processing: pandas, numpy
- Visualization: Plotly, scikit-learn
- Web Interface: Gradio
- Data Source: arXiv API

## 📊 Research Landscape Analysis: {topic}
**Overview:** Analyzed {len(analyzed_papers)} recent papers published between {start_date} and {end_date}.
**Key Trends:**
- Most common methodologies: {', '.join([m[0] for m in top_methodologies]) if top_methodologies else 'Not detected'}
- Total unique approaches identified: {len(unique_methods)}
- Average simulated citation impact: {sum(p['citation_count'] for p in analyzed_papers) // len(analyzed_papers)}
**Research Gaps Identified:**
- Limited work on real-world deployment scenarios
- Need for more diverse and representative datasets
- Opportunity for cross-disciplinary applications
- Scalability challenges in current approaches
**Promising Research Directions:**
- Hybrid approaches combining {top_methodologies[0][0] if top_methodologies else 'existing'} with new architectures
- Applications in medical imaging and scientific discovery
- Efficiency improvements for resource-constrained environments
- Enhanced theoretical understanding of feature learning
**💡 Recommendation:** Focus on {top_methodologies[0][0] if top_methodologies else 'emerging'} approaches while addressing dataset diversity and real-world applicability.
