Why is Scientific RAG considered private and local?

It is 100% local, meaning all data processing, embeddings, and searches occur on your machine via Ollama, ensuring no sensitive research data ever leaves your environment.

How does Scientific RAG handle complex scientific PDFs?

It uses `pymupdf4llm` for state-of-the-art extraction, converting multi-column layouts, tables, and formulas into clean Markdown, making it ideal for LLMs to ingest technical data with zero transcription errors.

Does Scientific RAG require heavy dependencies like Docker?

No, it features a lightweight, zero-config portable JSON vector database, removing the need for heavy dependencies like ChromaDB or Docker for easy cross-platform portability and quick setup.

How does Scientific RAG improve embedding quality for technical terms?

It leverages `nomic-embed-text` integrated with Ollama, providing superior semantic understanding for dense technical terms and a larger context window compared to traditional lightweight embedding models.

Facilitates a high-performance, private, and local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system specifically optimized for scientific research.

This tool provides a specialized local infrastructure tailored for the scientific community, overcoming the limitations of standard RAG implementations. It addresses challenges such as parsing complex scientific PDFs with multi-column layouts, tables, and mathematical formulas, ensures data privacy by keeping all processing local, and utilizes high-quality embeddings for nuanced technical term understanding. Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it enables AI agents to interact with dense technical documents with unprecedented accuracy, serving as a robust solution for researchers.
