OpenNovelty: An LLM-powered Agentic System for Verifiable Scholarly Novelty Assessment

Evaluating novelty is critical yet challenging in peer review, as reviewers must assess submissions against a vast, rapidly evolving literature. This report presents OpenNovelty, an LLM-powered agentic system for transparent, evidence-based novelty analysis. The system operates through four phases: (1) extracting the core task and contribution claims to generate retrieval queries; (2) retrieving relevant prior work based on extracted queries via semantic search engine; (3) constructing a hierarchical taxonomy of core-task-related work and performing contribution-level full-text comparisons against each contribution; and (4) synthesizing all analyses into a structured novelty report with explicit citations and evidence snippets. Unlike naive LLM-based approaches, \textsc{OpenNovelty} grounds all assessments in retrieved real papers, ensuring verifiable judgments. We deploy our system on 500+ ICLR 2026 submissions with all reports publicly available on our website, and preliminary analysis suggests it can identify relevant prior work, including closely related papers that authors may overlook. OpenNovelty aims to empower the research community with a scalable tool that promotes fair, consistent, and evidence-backed peer review.

WisPaper: Your AI Scholar Search Engine

We present \textsc{WisPaper}, an end-to-end agent system that transforms how researchers discover, organize, and track academic literature. The system addresses two fundamental challenges. (1)~\textit{Semantic search limitations}: existing academic search engines match keywords but cannot verify whether papers truly address complex research questions; and (2)~\textit{Workflow fragmentation}: researchers must manually stitch together separate tools for discovery, organization, and monitoring. \textsc{WisPaper} tackles these through three integrated modules. \textbf{Scholar Search} combines rapid keyword retrieval with \textit{Deep Search}, in which an agentic model, \textsc{WisModel}, validates candidate papers against user queries through structured reasoning. Discovered papers flow seamlessly into \textbf{Library} with one click, where systematic organization progressively builds a user profile that sharpens the recommendations of \textbf{AI Feeds}, which continuously surfaces relevant new publications and in turn guides subsequent exploration, closing the loop from discovery to long-term awareness. On TaxoBench, \textsc{WisPaper} achieves 22.26\% recall, surpassing the O3 baseline (20.92\%). Furthermore, \textsc{WisModel} attains 93.70\% validation accuracy, effectively mitigating retrieval hallucinations.
