SciJudge-4B
Update: A newer release is available at SciJudge-4B-2605. We recommend using the newer release for current experiments and comparisons.
SciJudge-4B is a Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 model fine-tuned for scientific paper evaluation. Given two papers' titles, abstracts, and publication dates, it predicts which paper has higher citation impact.
This model is part of AI Can Learn Scientific Taste. The benchmark dataset is SciJudgeBench.

Usage
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
model_name = "OpenMOSS-Team/SciJudge-4B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
model_name,
torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
device_map="auto",
)
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant. You first think about the reasoning process in your mind and then provide the user with the answer."},
{"role": "user", "content": "Today is 2025-12-10. Based on the titles, abstracts, and publication dates of the following two papers A and B, determine which paper has a higher citation count.\nShow your reasoning process in <reason> </reason> tags. And return the final answer in <answer> </answer> tags. The final answer should contain only 'A' or 'B'.\n\nPaper A:\nTitle: ...\nAbstract: ...\nDate: ...\n\nPaper B:\nTitle: ...\nAbstract: ...\nDate: ..."}
]
text = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False, add_generation_prompt=True)
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=2048, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.8, top_k=20)
response = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(response)
