That’s why I’m working on https://collate.one - offline AI workspace

On: Ask HN: How do you sift through new research?

[velyan]

Hey I am curious what's your current process? And would you like to input and output?

I am actually building something targeting content overwhelm and automating the curation process.

You can join the whitelist here: https://collate.one/preview

If you're a MacOS user I can give you free access to pilot version to try?

Also if you wanna get daily summaries of the papers you have you can also try this small app I built: https://collate.one/newsletter

Keen to know more about your problem...

Summaries are less interesting than my getting the information in the first place. My general hierarchy for sifting is:

Title -> Abstract -> skim directly to the section(s) that are most interesting or answer a question I have.

For most papers, I can gauge interest based on the title. But there are so many!

I have a secondary problem of being able to find research on a topic: quantitative linguistics. Arxiv has a category on Computation and Linguistics, but it is mostly LLMs.

Yup, so you'd like to:

1. Given your resources, be able to the filter out the sections that are relevant to your topic of interest 2. Find resources that related to a topic

In order of severity pain points, is this correct? What is the goal of your research?

What the newsletter app does: it groups materials in up to 5 topics and generates an article for each topic based on the resources you've provided

Cool! What problem are you solving with it?

Curious what resources / apps you're using for learning. I'm building a tool that helps with self-directed learning. Would you be keen to jump on a 15 mins call and help shape the product? https://calendly.com/vel-yan/15min

Would be very keen to know more about your learning experience and ideas to make it better. Would you be open to jump on a 15 mins call with me?

Hi! I'm probably not your target audience here, unless you're specifically developing a product that targets math education for midlife washouts, lol. But if you want some rando dude's opinion, sure, I'd be happy to jump into a call with ya. Just let me know and I'll find a slot on your Calendly.

But I think you'd get better feedback from someone who's actually in your target audience/user demographic :) I'm just an annoying grumpy gramps who hates math.
