#2I wrote a simple arXiv quick browser + article suggester in the terminal. I personally use it on a day to day basis and would love suggestions on ways to improve it.

I love the combination of TF-IDF and Cosine similarity! Still in my opinion one of the most underused / underrated algorithms tools in the box.

#4The menu doesn't work, it just says "GOODBYE" whenever I try to use it. Some basic in-tool instructions would go a long way here, given this isn't really a CLI tool, it's a menu based console UI tool.

OKAY so after some keyboard mashing, it uses VIM keybindings.

#6If you're going to be doing ML and require downloads of PDFs, I would recommend getting the bulk data from s3 instead of downloading: https://arxiv.org/help/bulk_data_s3
It's a little more complicated to use, but you get it ALL ;)
In addition to TfIdf, topic modelling would is a very good fit for browsing and finding similar papers. Here is a demo of LDA applied to 10% of the quant-ph arXiv papers that I worked on back in the day: https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~isavov/arxiv_demo/readme.html

#7This is pretty cool. Would be nice to be able to read the text version of the articles inside of this.

Thanks for the feedback - I'll definitely be trying to make the controls more explicit.

This is very cool, thank you :). I was trying to keep the script lightweight so only wanted articles that I'd already read used for the NLP. In hindsight that may not have been necessary.

That's true ;), I had to compromise and only show the abstract for now. It does work for me just in terms of skimming through the articles to find what I want to read. I'm looking into adding another layer of menus to show the actual text though.
