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.
