Hey there,
it seems the jabref grobid server has been down for quite a while. Are there any plans to revive it?
Thank you!
Hello @gittibit we have no plans to drop Grobid, but there are currently technical issues that seem to be hard to solve, so no promises. In the meanwhile, you could set up your personal Grobid instance. or if you are already on the 6.0 alpha release, you can try setting up an LLM to get an equivalent text parser for the “add entry via reference text” feature. I’ve been working on a more up to date documenation for that, which will be released in one of the next days.
cool - thank you for the response
I reworked the documentation a little. Need to do a few tweaks here and there, but the most important information is now available.
Here are the new docs for the “add entry via reference text” feature: Add entry using reference text | JabRef. It points to the LLM documentation. Setting up a tiny local LLM should suffice.
For example:
- Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct · Hugging Face
- ibm-granite/granite-3.1-3b-a800m-instruct · Hugging Face
- allenai/OLMoE-1B-7B-0125-Instruct · Hugging Face.
For anybody reading this in half a year or later, I am sure higher quality and more up to date models have been released by then.
cool - thanks a lot for the suggestions
still looking forward to the ‘official’ grobid server solution to avoid the need to set-up stuff locally
