Cool idea, it is impressive that it is still around - alas it is flawed the same way all scientific data is flawed. There is no metadata - all you have is an awkward imprecise textual search of the abstract that comes with the data. Good luck hosting the world's data that way.

There is metadata. It is stored in bibtex along with every torrent. This format allows it to be a freeform database where the user can add fields as they want. We (Academic Torrents) can then build new ways to display this metadata. Also the "abstract" part of the metadata is rendered as markdown on the details page of a torrent. Here is a good example: https://academictorrents.com/details/d52ccc21455c7a82fd6e589...

  def get_labels(rightside):
    met = {}
    met['brain'] = (
        1. * (rightside != 0).sum() / (rightside == 0).sum())
    met['tumor'] = (
        1. * (rightside > 2).sum() / ((rightside != 0).sum() + 1e-10))
    met['has_enough_brain'] = met['brain'] > 0.30
    met['has_tumor'] = met['tumor'] > 0.01
    return met

Ok, I see that there is code provided there. Better than nothing but geez, it is not really what metadata should be like def get_labels(rightside): met = {} met['brain'] = ( 1. * (rightside != 0).sum() / (rightside == 0).sum()) met['tumor'] = ( 1. * (rightside > 2).sum() / ((rightside != 0).sum() + 1e-10)) met['has_enough_brain'] = met['brain'] > 0.30 met['has_tumor'] = met['tumor'] > 0.01 return met I will say that…

Yeah, it could really benefit from some organizational work, like on more mature music torrent trackers or such. Categories, mandatory tags, unified names, reviewed by community-chosen category-wise moderators. In it's current state in's basically a file dump, either you have the direct link, or you can only hope to find something interesting. Not that much better than sharing magnet links via public pastebin records…

One very interesting thing I wish would be studied in depth are the virtual economies of mature trackers. Limiting access to resources and granting increasing access for contributing and correcting quality has in places been extremely successful. It is interesting to see the varying quality and associated economic mechanics. Some environments, based just on prestige, have big problems with toxicity (StackOverflow, Wi…
