Brief

@seconds_0 is expanding ChinaRxiv to include Russian papers and focused on extracting text from very old, complex mathematical documents because standard OCR/models fail. The posted draft goal (2026-05-04) is to measure extraction yield, then improve extraction while preventing QA regressions. They use metaprompting with gpt5.5 and have IT record the goal into /goal.

Why it matters

@seconds_0 (posted 2026-05-04) is expanding ChinaRxiv to ingest Russian papers and specifically tackling extraction of meaningful text from very old, complex mathematics that default OCR packages and models fail to handle.

Key details

  • Draft goal: expand the ability to measure extraction yield, then plan and execute improvements to extraction while preventing regressions across all quality-assurance measures.
  • Workflow: they use metaprompting (talking with gpt5.5) and ask IT to write the formal goal that gets saved to /goal as part of the pipeline.
