Jev Literature Classifier

A local workbench that sorts research PDFs into a taxonomy you define: Jev picks one category per paper with a Choice question and keeps every category's probability, with an explicit 'none of the above' option, human review and optional Zotero import.

What it is

Helps researchers re-sort a messy reference library.

What it does: Jev assigns each paper to one of your categories and shows all probabilities for review.

Why it belongs in the showcase: A complete batch-classify loop with versioned taxonomies and a review step.

Caveats: Text-layer PDFs only.

Evidence

Public MIT repo, created 2026-10-20; README in Chinese. Jev classifies with title, abstract and keywords, and adds up to 6,000 characters of body text when there is no abstract. A general LLM can optionally draft 3–5 candidate taxonomies of 2–20 categories from a summary of the selected papers; the user edits and saves one before Jev classifies. Taxonomy edits create versions, results keep model version and input level, and runs export to CSV and JSON.

Caveats

  • Relies on the PDF text layer; there is no OCR yet
  • Confidence is computed from the probability spread and does not guarantee a correct label
  • Auto-drafting taxonomies needs a separate LLM API key
