Upgrade Storage[Request] New AI Tags Assistant Feature Suggestions/Thoughts
Hi,
First of all, I would like to thank the developers for there work, especially the last update of adding/creating a mobile app for Zotero.
Second, I am new to this forums so I am not sure if I will be repeating a request but something that I is annoying a bit are the tags in the sense that they get out of control real quick. So I was thinking of suggesting a possible solution for the developers to consider, or if it already has a solution I would like to hear about it.
What I was thinking is that since tags can be created both automatically (when using the web extension) or manually it can cause hundreds of tags to be creating making them a bit less useful especially when a lot of them are similar. As an example from my field, Engineering, I could have the following tags: "Finite Element Analysis", "finite-element-analysis", and "FEA" all of which to a person are the same but will be their own tags making it so that if I search for "FEA" the other two will not show and vice versa.
So, how viable will it be to add some "AI" to the tags? My thoughts are:
-> Either some LLM/AI that combines the tags. So that the three I mentioned will be combined into one.
-> Or an LLM/AI that is in the tags-search-box so that when I search for one I get all the tags that are "similar" (in terms of meaning, and so the 3 example tags will show when I search for "Finite Element Analysis") instead of taking it to be exactly what I search for.
Kind Regards,
Abdurrahman

While it doesn't merge existing tags or perform semantic tag searches, it does use AI to suggest tags based on a paper's title and abstract while taking your most frequently used tags into account. The idea is to encourage reuse of your existing tag vocabulary instead of creating new variations.
It also includes improved tag autocomplete for manually adding tags. Unlike Zotero's default first-word matching, it supports multi-word matching, so typing "Finite", "Analysis", or "FEA" will still match "Finite Element Analysis (FEA)". I find this makes it much easier to consistently reuse existing tags rather than accidentally creating duplicates.
Hope it makes tagging a bit easier!
