TL;DR
MODOC is a modular interface that integrates text retrieval and generation, aiding scientific writing by verifying content and detecting confabulations within a unified, user-friendly system.
Contribution
It introduces a novel modular UI that combines retrieval and generation functions, specifically designed to support scientific writing and ensure content integrity.
Findings
Supports flexible retrieval and generation in one interface
Helps detect confabulations in LLM-generated content
Enhances scientific writing accuracy and integrity
Abstract
Large Language Models (LLMs) produce eloquent texts but often the content they generate needs to be verified. Traditional information retrieval systems can assist with this task, but most systems have not been designed with LLM-generated queries in mind. As such, there is a compelling need for integrated systems that provide both retrieval and generation functionality within a single user interface. We present MODOC, a modular user interface that leverages the capabilities of LLMs and provides assistance with detecting their confabulations, promoting integrity in scientific writing. MODOC represents a significant step forward in scientific writing assistance. Its modular architecture supports flexible functions for retrieving information and for writing and generating text in a single, user-friendly interface.
