Systematic Literature Search

Search Query Strategy

For a given research topic, formulate queries in 4 categories:

Direct: "{topic}" "{method}" {year range}
Methodological: "{technique}" "{application domain}"
Benchmark: "{dataset name}" benchmark state-of-the-art
Survey: survey OR review "{topic}" {recent year}

Search priority: arXiv → IEEE Xplore → Google Scholar → Semantic Scholar

Paper Extraction Template

For each relevant paper:

- title: "Exact Paper Title"
  authors: "First Author et al."
  venue: "IEEE TIM"
  year: 2024
  method_name: "ShortMethodName"
  key_contribution: "One sentence"
  datasets:
    - name: "CWRU"
      metrics: { accuracy: 0.985, f1: 0.972 }
  limitations: "What it doesn't handle"
  code_url: "github.com/... or null"
  doi: "10.1109/..."
  bibtex_key: "Author2024Keyword"

SOTA Summary Table Format

| Rank | Method | Venue | Year | Acc (%) | F1 (%) | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|------|---------|--------|-------|
| 1    | ...    | ...   | ...  | ...     | ...    | Current SOTA |
| 2    | ...    | ...   | ...  | ...     | ...    | |

Citation Verification Rules

Every reference MUST be verified:

Search for the exact title to confirm it exists
Confirm authors and venue match
Confirm year matches
Extract DOI if available

NEVER fabricate citations. If unsure, mark as [UNVERIFIED] and flag.
