Show HN: Trending Papers, a PageRank-based tool to find papers worth reading (trendingpapers.com)

5 points by carlossouza ↗ HN
The project aims to organize computer science research in a logical, simple, and easy-to-follow way. It is designed to help us find papers worth reading first.

I started building Trending Papers because following computer science research has become increasingly hard as the pace of innovation accelerates. The number of new articles on Arxiv has grown at 27% CAGR for the past 20 years. 240 new papers have been filed daily on average over the past 12 months. And the number is growing: last month, there were well over 300 new papers on average every single day.

The system is based on some ML/NLP algorithms (the main one is an adapted version of PageRank) - the basics of how it works are described at https://trendingpapers.com/faq.

I hope you find it useful. Cheers!

@dang this seems like it deserves a second chance! It’s pretty useful. (Author is working to expand the model to other areas other than CS as well)
