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?

I wish someone would scrape and mirror Twitter-X (fully, not just proxy like Nitter). I know Musk would be upset though.

I struggle to keep up with the current trends in AI, do you have any twitter community recommendations to follow?

The growing pace of new papers, especially in CS, is a hard problem to solve. We created this tool to help: https://trendingpapers.com/ 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!

  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!

  Very cool! Would it be possible to order category filters alphabetically?
  - carlossouza 3y ago
    Yes, totally! That's a great input, thanks!

  Nice. Is this open source and/or are you looking for help in any way?
  - carlossouza 3y ago
    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!

  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.
  - carlossouza 3y ago
    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.

In certain topics, Discords and Github repos. ...Yes, basically siloed off and unsearchable.

  Discord is where our conversations go to die, yes; but (non-private) Github repos are clonable and very searchable - so I'm not sure why you wrote that.

It's why big tech killed rss, they want to own our peer to peer channels.

Yeah, various AI Discords, like the Nous Research server.

Back in the day, Google Reader was great for this. It's still hard to fathom that nothing ever replaced it.

Any recommended accounts to follow; is there a "@Rainmaker1973" for AI papers?

I use https://huggingface.co/papers https://huggingface.co/papers and frankly more than enough, usually anything significant enough has a paper there or is mentioned in the papers unless it's completely proprietary stuff (Midjourney, NovelAI etc) so they're not very interesting from a research point of view.
