# 🔬 Scientific Research Paper Summarizer

This Space hosts the deployment of our fine-tuned **Gemma-2-2b** model designed for research paper analysis and lay summarization. 

### Features
* **Real-time Literature Fetching:** Automatically searches and retrieves relevant academic papers from the arXiv repository for any entered topic.
* **Intelligent Summarization:** Synthesizes the core findings and key points from the retrieved literature.
* **Direct References:** Displays full metadata, authors, and clickable links for all source papers used during generating the overview.

### How it works
1. The user inputs a research topic or question.
2. The app queries the arXiv API to fetch the most relevant papers.
3. The abstracts and titles are formatted into a template matching the model's training structure (`Document:\n ... \n\nSummary:\n`).
4. The fine-tuned Gemma model summarizes the core ideas.
5. Citations are displayed transparently below the response.
