{"slug": "research-finder-research-coder", "title": "Research-Finder / Research-Coder", "summary": "A developer built Research-Finder, a skill-agent that searches academic papers via OpenAlex using filters for domains and professors, reads and answers questions about a specific paper, and can draft emails to professors with relevant references. The project is the first phase of Research-Coder, which aims to apply knowledge extracted from research papers to code — informing system architecture and training approaches for machine learning models. The developer, who won first place in the open-source category at Hacktoberfest Hack Day Ahmedabad x Open Source Weekend, has open-sourced the project and cites improving model latency and overall architecture design as needed changes.", "body_md": "*This is a submission for the [MLH x DEV Writing Challenge](https://dev.to/mlh-hackathon)*\n\nI built a skill-agent named Research-Finder, It looks for the related research paper according filters set by domains or/and professors.\n\nIt also reads and examines a particular paper and then answers regarding that paper, It can also help writing an Email to the professor with relevant references and your views on the paper.\n\nBut isn't this idea too simple ??\n\nThis is just the first phase of my main project Research-Coder,\n\nThe baseline is same, It examines the research-papers but that knowledge is not used to just write a email or chatbot, The info is used in your code.\n\nYeah code,The knowledge gained from the research paper is used to build your system architecture and figuring out best approach for training best Machine Learning model.\n\nAlso the uses of the knowlege are many, I have kept the project open-source so that developers from all over the world can use it or contribute to it. Also together we can figure out and implement maximum uses of the base idea.\n\nRequired changes -- Improving latency of the model -- Improving overall Architecture Design\n\nHave you struggled like me, Reading multiple research paper before mailing a proffesor for a junior research internship, finding papers related to your Domains, and Going through full paper when someone ask you something simple :( I made a solution for the same - Research_finder -> It finds, reads and answers your question find research papers using filters - Multiple Domains, Multiple Profesors\n\nBut isn't this idea too simple ??\n\nI felt it too, but we will be using this same skill and upgrade it to something more important Sometimes you might come to challenges/ hackathons (especiallly Kaggle) where just knowing the code is not enough you need High-level knowlege in chemistry , physics etc Here we are feeding our agents with knowlege from Research Papers by top Researchers in their field. :)\n\nlets take a example…\n\nI didn't used any MLH partners :{\n\nI used OpenAlex for searching acadamic Papers.\n\nI used Microsoft-Copilot for coding assistance. \n\nI attended Hacktoberfest Hack Day Ahmedabad x Open Source Weekend\n\nat ahmedabad.\n\nIt was my first-ever in-person hackathon and I had the best time there,I was nervous because It was first time building in a in-person  hackathon that too in a less than 6hr format.\n\nthe event started with a talk from a experienced open-source contributor, While listening to him I got the idea for my project.\n\nMy brain clicked...\n\nand I bult the project and guess what ?\n\nI won, 1st place in open-source category.\n\nNow i have got a Ardiuno Q4 to experiment with and  cool swags. \n\nOverall It was worth traveling 4hrs for and I suggest everyone to take part in such In-person events.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/research-finder-research-coder", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/krish_patel_3903db1e3fa16/research-finder-research-coder-27p1", "published_at": "2026-10-26 10:09:35+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-26 10:12:54.877288+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-research", "machine-learning"], "entities": ["Research-Finder", "Research-Coder", "OpenAlex", "Microsoft Copilot", "Hacktoberfest Hack Day Ahmedabad", "MLH"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/research-finder-research-coder", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/research-finder-research-coder.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/research-finder-research-coder.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/research-finder-research-coder.jsonld"}}
