Research paper assistant [Post #21, Day 44]

I was struggling through reading the Bengio et al., 2003 paper today, and by struggling I mean I was unable to follow much of it, when I decided to upload it to ChatGPT and try to work sequentially through it. It worked really well for a while, going sentence by sentence and having an explanation by ChatGPT with examples, it really increased my understanding level. But I could only go until I ran out of free prompts, and it started hallucinating I guess and listing sentences that weren't actually in the paper. But it gave me the idea to create my own app so I worked on that for a while this afternoon. I've got the initial thing going and plan to continue building and refining it. I've been doing it all with the help of Cursor.

A look at the app I've started building.

If this worked the way I imagine it I think it would be really cool and useful for anyone trying to understand a research paper. There must be things out there like it already but if I make my own I can build it exactly how I want to.

So I still need to finish reading the Bengio et al., 2003 paper, and to try to implement something from it. I am currently on Page 1142 of 1137 to 1155.

I am thinking of going ahead to Video 4 now.
