CiteWise: a local research desk that will not invent a citation

说明与用途

CiteWise 是一个本地 PDF 搜索和引用验证工具，保持文档在用户机器上，并标记模型无来源匹配的答案。

问题

Users need a way to search and cite passages from PDFs locally without sending documents to a hosted API and without the model inventing citations.

结果

CiteWise enables local PDF search and citation verification without sending data to external services, and it transparently flags insufficient model answers, allowing users to inspect the source text directly.

工作流

• Upload PDFs to the local app
• CiteWise extracts each page and keeps the original page number
• The text is indexed with rank‑BM25 and a local FAISS index
• User searches or asks a question
• CiteWise retrieves relevant passages and sends them to the local Ollama model with a JSON schema
• The model returns an answer; if it cannot provide a source, the answer is marked "insufficient"
• The user can view the retrieved page and the model’s answer side by side to verify the citation

证据

CiteWise extracts each page, keeps the page number from the PDF, and indexes the text.

来源

The answer is supposed to point at a passage. If the passage is not there, or the model will not commit to one, the answer is marked insufficient and no quotation is invented.

来源

To run it locally you need Python 3.12, Node, and Ollama with a chat model pulled, for example ollama pull llama3.2:3b.
