FAQPage Schema
How do I find ML papers across arXiv and Semantic Scholar and organize them for a literature review?

You can search for ML, AI, CV, and NLP papers across arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar. The Skill organizes results into per-topic folders containing a memory bank, mind graph, summaries, and BibTeX exports for your literature review.

Can I automatically export BibTeX citations for papers discovered during a topic-based search?

Yes, automatic BibTeX export is supported for each discovered paper. The Skill generates a references.bib file within the specific topic folder, allowing you to directly import citations into your research management system.

How does a memory bank help manage research references and track related work?

The memory bank maintains per-topic paper records and summaries in a memory-bank.md file. It builds a mind graph of topic relationships, allowing you to query structured knowledge and track related work efficiently.

Do I need web access to search for papers and build a structured knowledge base?

Yes, web access is required. The Skill uses WebSearch and WebFetch components to query arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar, retrieving paper metadata, abstracts, and PDFs to populate the knowledge base.

What is the best way to structure literature searches for major ML venues and track topic relationships?

The best way is using per-topic folders to structure searches across major venues. Each folder maintains its own memory bank, mind graph mapping topic relationships, and BibTeX exports, creating a queryable knowledge base.

Can I collect and save PDFs locally when organizing papers into topic folders?

Yes, saving PDFs is supported as an optional feature within per-topic folders. Alongside PDFs, the folder structure automatically maintains your memory bank, mind graph, and BibTeX exports for comprehensive research management.
