SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps researchers quickly discover top conference papers for a given year and generate organized notes for Obsidian, accelerating literature review workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Uses DBLP to fetch papers from major conferences (CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/ICLR/AAAI/NeurIPS/ICML) for a chosen year, then enriches with Semantic Scholar data to provide abstracts and citation counts.
  • Applies a three-dimensional scoring model (relevance, popularity, quality) to rank candidates and generate a concise top-N note set with links to DBLP, arXiv, or DOI when available.
  • Produces per-paper notes with a dedicated note_filename for Obsidian integration and supports automatic keyword linking and note organization within the vault.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to fetch top conference papers for a chosen year, e.g., 2025 ICLR and NeurIPS.

Frequently Asked Questions about conf-papers

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find top conference papers for a specific year?

You can discover top conference papers by querying DBLP for a chosen year and venue, then enriching the results with Semantic Scholar abstracts and citation counts to compute a recommendation score for ranking.

Can I generate Obsidian notes directly from DBLP and Semantic Scholar search results?

Yes, you can generate Obsidian notes directly from DBLP and Semantic Scholar results. The process outputs per-paper metadata with a dedicated note_filename, enabling automatic note organization and keyword linking within your vault.

What conferences are supported for fetching research papers?

Supported conferences for fetching research papers include major computer science venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, AAAI, NeurIPS, and ICML. You can specify the year to retrieve and rank papers from these specific conferences.

How are research papers ranked to recommend the best candidates?

Research papers are ranked using a three-dimensional scoring model that evaluates relevance, popularity, and quality. This model leverages enriched Semantic Scholar data like citation counts to identify top candidates for note generation.

Does this recommendation tool require any specific Python dependencies?

Yes, the recommendation tool requires the Python dependencies 'requests' and 'PyYAML' to function. These libraries facilitate fetching paper data from APIs and managing YAML configurations or Obsidian note structures.

What metadata is included when exporting conference papers to notes?

Exported conference paper notes include metadata such as title, authors, venue, year, DBLP URL, arXiv or DOI links when available, and the computed recommendation score to provide comprehensive research context.
