SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

Researchers need an efficient way to discover high-quality, year-specific conference papers across major venues. Conf-Papers automates the discovery, filtering, and ranking process so you can focus on reading, synthesis, and knowledge capture rather than manual sifting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • DBLP-based search: retrieves papers from CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/ICLR/AAAI/NeurIPS/ICML for a given year.
  • Semantic Scholar enrichment: fills in abstracts and citation counts to improve ranking, and gathers arXiv/DOI details when available.
  • Three-dimensional scoring: relevance (to your keywords), popularity (influential citations), and quality (summary-based novelty/experiments) with a top-N result.
  • Two-stage filtering: lightweight keyword filtering first, followed by robust re-scoring and filtering for final candidates.
  • Note-ready output: generates top papers with metadata for quick note creation in Obsidian, including a note_filename for wikilinks.

Quick Start

Ask conf-papers to fetch the top 10 papers for 2025 across the configured conferences (e.g., ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, CVPR) and generate a ready-to-note summary.

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

The tool retrieves papers from DBLP for venues like CVPR, ICLR, and NeurIPS, enriches them with Semantic Scholar abstracts and citations, and outputs a ranked top-N list with computed recommendation scores.

How are conference paper recommendations ranked and scored?

Recommendations are scored across three dimensions: relevance to user keywords, popularity via influential citations, and quality based on summary novelty, which are combined using configured weights to produce a top-N ranked list.

Can I filter academic papers by keywords before generating a ranked list?

A two-stage filtering mechanism applies lightweight keyword filtering first, followed by robust re-scoring and filtering to identify final candidate papers for the ranked list.

Does the paper recommendation output integrate with Obsidian notes?

The output generates a JSON structure suitable for Obsidian notes, including paper metadata and a note_filename designed for quick note creation and wikilinks.

What computer science conferences are supported for paper search?

Supported conferences include CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, AAAI, NeurIPS, and ICML, allowing users to search and rank papers across these major venues for a specified year.
