As much as I dislike all the baggage that comes with Elon owning Twitter, it is the only place I know with a critical mass of AI talent sharing papers and thoughts. Even in read-only mode, it's incredibly useful as a way to stay up to date with interesting AI papers and discussions. Does a good alternative to this exist?

There is a weekly paper reading group around the Latent Space podcast folks

The growing pace of new papers, especially in CS, is a hard problem to solve. We created this tool to help: https://trendingpapers.com/ The website was launched in October. It is already used by researchers in most of the leading universities and tech companies and is growing fast. Let me know what you think.. cheers!

Love the site, but the one thing I am missing is instantly seeing what papers are trending right now, instead of having to manually select a timeframe. Think hacker news frontpage. Would be interesting to add a "hot" filter, or similar. Average weighting by exponential decay over time? Not sure how you usually do that with pagerank.

Thanks! Yes, that's in the roadmap; I believe it will be complete in 3-4 cycles. Right now, we are finishing the topics module. It will provide us with more granular filtering tools, and enable us to also discover trending topics, etc. It will be eye-opening... but it's taking longer than expected because of the dataset size.

Nice. Is this open source and/or are you looking for help in any way?

Thanks! That's something we are considering, given how many people mentioned it and offered help. Right now, the help we need is writing a paper detailing all aspects of the system and comparing it with similar systems. We have a group in Slack: if you want to contribute, that would be great!

Very cool! Would it be possible to order category filters alphabetically?

Yes, totally! That's a great input, thanks!

If this is true then not disclosing that is extremely unethical of @abidlabs, damn near intellectual malfeasance, and reflects very poorly on the rest of their work.

except the fact that the company name is in the handle

That's not how ethical disclosure works.

There are have been many, many services that have tried to automate paper selection based on these heuristics. None of them have had the staying power of AK's account. As someone with a PhD in machine learning from Stanford, I can attest AK's taste is quite good.

Do you by chance have a vested interest in attesting this? A disclaimer might be appropriate if so.

Yes you’re right thanks, I should have disclaimed earlier, but AK is a member of the team I lead at Hugging Face.

This is super cool. I've often wondered why google scholar didn't use pagerank over the citations... and now you've done it! Props!
