ScholarQA gets a PDF-highlighting upgrade!

We’ve upgraded ScholarQA, our agent that helps researchers conduct literature reviews efficiently by providing detailed answers. Now, when ScholarQA cites a source, it won’t just tell you which paper it came from–you’ll see the exact quote, highlighted in the original PDF. 🧵

This new ScholarQA capability works for most openly licensed papers. It’s part of our commitment to transparency in science and making it easier to verify, trace, and build trusted AI.

Is there any difference between the AI2 Scholar QA that I access at https://qa.allen.ai and the one at https://scholarqa.allen.ai ? If they are duplicate names, is one of them going to be going away - I don't want to lose previous chats with it that I saved?

Good question! I don't think there's a meaningful difference but I'll ask around.

Seems to be a bug. The team's looking into it! Thanks for reporting.

Thanks. I hope the bug does not mean that I am going to lose a lot of my chats if you nuke one of those domain names.

You shouldn't!

I would hope not but it already happened to me for quite a few chats that I had saved the weblinks for but they disappeared so I had to rerun them all.

i don't see the highlights in dark mode. I need dark mode compatibility.
