How to build a cross-linked wiki for a research direction with Polaris

Ingest papers from OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and arXiv into a wiki that is compiled up front.

Short answer: Open the Polaris desktop app and create a direction library, then write its inclusion statement, goals and exclusions through the AI interview; then add anchor papers so cold start can snowball citations from them into the library; let the Research Wiki ingest papers from OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and arXiv and extract full text. All steps.

Who it is forA PhD student or researcher starting a new topic who needs to survey a field quickly and keep the notes organized.

The problemReading and linking dozens or hundreds of papers by hand takes weeks, and notes lose their connections over time.

The outcomeA library of papers, each with a compiled wiki page (TL;DR, method, reusable ideas and concept backlinks), plus research digests you can sync to an Obsidian vault.

What you need first

  • A computer where the Polaris desktop app can run (the README says new releases are desktop-only)
  • A model source: an agent you already use, such as Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI, or a model API key
  • For experiments: SSH access to a GPU server and your own SSH credentials
  • A research direction or topic you want to explore

Steps

  1. Open the Polaris desktop app and create a direction library, then write its inclusion statement, goals and exclusions through the AI interview.
  2. Add anchor papers so cold start can snowball citations from them into the library.
  3. Let the Research Wiki ingest papers from OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar and arXiv and extract full text.
  4. Open the compiled wiki pages and check the TL;DR, method and concept links for a few papers.
  5. Turn on daily arXiv feed collection into your library and optionally sync the wiki to an Obsidian vault.

Prompt for your agent

Using the Polaris repo at ZJU-REAL/Polaris, set up a direction library for <research topic> and run cold start from the anchor papers <paper list>. Expected output: a count of ingested papers and a list of compiled wiki pages. Verify that each wiki page links to at least one concept backlink.

Caveat. The README describes one shared wiki per paper and a concept is promoted only after two papers cite it, so early wiki pages will have fewer cross-links than a mature library.
