Software configurations for managing large amounts of academic papers?

1 points by Xen9 ↗ HN
I'm seeking recommendations for reliable software configurations that streamline finding, downloading (from varied sources), organizing, and formatting academic papers for my e-reader. What are your experiences with different workflows / configurations in this scenario?

I've been experimenting with YOShInOn, a smart RSS reader that, among other things, ingests abstracts from arXiv. You might note I post a lot of links to HN and all of them are selected by YOShInOn and I working together.

It uses a BERT-family model to cluster and classifies articles, it learned very fast that I like articles that have to with recommendation systems, text classifiers and stuff like that and I don't like articles on numerical analysis. The main interface looks like TikTok (shows me an article that I "like", "don't like" or mark as favorites.) Once things are favorited I have a rudimentary interface to look them up.

The same parts can be put together in other ways, the system right now supports one stream of classifications, but I'd really like to do a search on pubmed that finds 5000 abstracts and then classify them, plus multiple-stage classifications and extractions such as "Is this article about the results of a sports game?" and then "Who won?"
