Researcher mapped 8.5 million research papers to interactive atlas
The Tomesphere project has organized 8.5 million research papers from arXiv, PubMed Central, bioRxiv, medRxiv, and eLife in an interactive map using SPECTER2 embeddings and UMAP visualization. Each paper is linked to relevant metadata including code, datasets, peer reviews, proteins, genes, diseases, and clinical trials, accessible via a web interface, browser extension, and MCP API.
WHY IT MATTERS
This solves a practical problem for researchers who must jump between multiple sources to find paper data, and makes research more navigable by showing relationships across 8.5 million papers. It also represents an interesting demonstration of how AI tools can structure and make knowledge domains more accessible.
