Abstract

This demo paper presents CiteGen, a LLM-based web application designed to assist with incorporating citations into scientific writing. CiteGen helps users find and choose the right references by using large language models and a scientific knowledge graph to suggest the most relevant citations for a given text. Specifically, the system analyzes the input text to identify optimal citation points, retrieves candidate references from the AIDA-KG, ranks them by relevance, and inserts the most appropriate citations in the identified locations.
