Could you build this?
Partial While the UI and API queries to academic repositories are straightforward, robust biomedical citation verification and claim-to-evidence matching require sophisticated semantic indexing and verification pipelines over millions of papers.
What it would actually take: The system relies on integrating bulk academic data feeds (PubMed/MEDLINE, OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar) with dense retrieval vector embeddings and cross-encoder rerankers for NLI (Natural Language Inference) claim-checking. Engineering challenges include managing massive full-text document ingestion, handling DOI resolution edge cases, and fine-tuning biomedical NLI models to prevent false attribution.
