What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly find the next papers to read from your existing context by producing a ranked, rationale-backed shortlist instead of leaving you to guess what’s relevant.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Anchor-driven discovery: generate candidates from one or more specific seed papers (with optional negative seeds) so follow-up recommendations match what you just ingested or what you already care about.
  • Topic and wiki exploration: propose related work using a free-form topic string or by deriving anchors from the most recently modified wiki paper pages.
  • Venue/year-based discovery: recommend relevant papers from a specific conference or workshop year by comparing candidates against your wiki content.
  • Safety-first behavior: never ingests content; it only proposes candidates and logs the run to the wiki when appropriate.

Quick Start

Run the discovery for a topic to get a ranked shortlist: "/discover --topic diffusion model fine-tuning --limit 10".

Frequently Asked Questions about /discover

FAQPage Schema
How do I get ranked research paper recommendations without automatically downloading files?

You can get ranked research paper recommendations by running a discovery command that generates a proposal-only shortlist. The tool logs a discover checkpoint and optional wiki log without downloading papers or mutating existing wiki content.

How do I find related papers from a specific conference or workshop year?

Find related papers from a specific venue or year by providing conference inputs to discovery. The tool compares candidates against your existing wiki content, deduplicates entries, and returns a ranked shortlist of relevant works.

Can I generate a reading shortlist based on seed papers I already have?

Yes, you can generate a reading shortlist using anchor-driven discovery from specific seed papers. You can also provide negative seeds to refine recommendations, ensuring candidates match your current research context.

How do I discover relevant papers using a free-form topic string?

Discover relevant papers by providing a free-form topic string to the discovery tool. It produces a rationale-backed, ranked shortlist of candidate papers without ingesting any content into your wiki.

Does the discovery tool deduplicate recommendations against existing wiki pages?

Yes, the discovery tool performs wiki deduplication to ensure proposed candidates do not overlap with existing wiki paper pages. It maintains safety-first behavior by writing proposals and logs without mutating wiki content.

What are the limitations of using a proposal-only discovery workflow?

The proposal-only discovery workflow never ingests content, downloads papers, or mutates wiki content. It is limited to producing a ranked shortlist and logging the run, ensuring you manually review candidates before any ingestion occurs.
