Daisybastioned440/lite-research-agents ↗What it does
Monitor arXiv paper feeds for research topic of interest and alert on new preprints matching user criteria
Best for
Researcher staying current on rapid-moving fields (ML, quantum, NeurIPS-era AI) without manual arXiv.org browsing.
Inputs
- · arXiv category/subcategory filters (cs.AI, physics.quant-ph, etc.)
- · Keyword or semantic search queries
- · Alert frequency (daily, weekly digest)
Outputs
- · Email or Slack digest of matching papers
- · Structured metadata (title, authors, abstract, submission date)
- · Optional: AI summary or relevance scoring per paper
Requires
- · arXiv API (arxiv.org/api/query)
- · Email or Slack webhook for notifications
- · Semantic search / embedding model (optional, for relevance ranking)
Preconditions
- · arXiv API access (rate-limited to ~3 requests/sec, documented)
- · Notification service endpoint (email, Slack, Telegram)
- · Cron or cloud scheduler for periodic polling
Failure modes
- · Keyword-only search overly broad (thousands of papers per day)
- · arXiv API rate limit hit if checking too frequently
- · False positives from keyword ambiguity (e.g. 'agent' matches agents + insurance agents)
- · Submission latency (papers appear 1-2 days after upload) may delay notifications
- · Archived papers removed from arXiv not tracked
Trust signals
- · Direct arXiv API integration (no scraping, official access)
- · Category/subcategory filtering reduces noise
- · Semantic search optional for relevance ranking (embedding models)
