Overview & Result
Paper Trellis Citation Verifier by Marissa Famularo automates scientific citation auditing. It pairs factual claims in research papers with the excerpts from cited references, utilizing Jev to determine whether the cited source genuinely supports, contradicts, or is irrelevant to the citing sentence.
How Jev fits in the loop
- Extracts claim sentences and parses parenthetical reference citations.
- Fetches cited reference abstracts from academic APIs.
- Prompts Jev with candidate support relationships, scoring agreement confidence and highlighting discrepancies.
How to reproduce
- Clone https://github.com/MarissaFamularo/citation-verifier and install requirements.
- Input a research paragraph with accompanying bibliography references.
- Run the verifier to observe Jev checking sentence claims against cited abstract excerpts.
Why this build matters
Tackles academic hallucination and citation misattribution in research reports, whitepapers, and automated literature reviews.
Limitations
- Requires access to open-access paper abstracts or full texts.
- Designed as an auditor assistant; complex mathematical claims require domain expert review.
