Cognoska

Since August I’ve been running a scoring system that tracks and ranks every new AI-related paper published on arXiv. The goal is to detect genuine research events, things that move the field forward and filter out the usual noise and unsubstantiated uploads. Each paper gets evaluated through a scoring algorithm. The system then stores embeddings with structured fields like problem, approach, solution, and result for later retrieval. Search runs on a hybrid model: it combines semantic embeddings with metadata like title, topic, author, and extracted keywords. Queries return the most relevant…

    I made a website to semantically search ArXiv papers2024 · papermatch.mitanshu.tech · ▲324

    As a grad student (and an ADHDer), I had trouble doing literature review systematically. To combat this, I made a website that finds similar papers using the meaning of the thing I am looking for. I used MixedBread's [^1] embedding model to generate vectors from the abstracts. I store and search similar vectors using Milvus [^2] and finally use Gradio [^3] to serve the frontend. I update the vector database weekly by pulling the metadata dataset from Kaggle [^4]. To speed up the search process on my free oracle instance, I binarise the embeddings and use Hamming distance as a metric. I would…

    ArXiv Feed – An easy way to keep up with AI research2023 · arxiv-feed.vercel.app · ▲32

    Hey HN! I've always found it hard to keep up with the latest AI research, so I built Arxiv Feed! https://arxiv-feed.vercel.app/ It's basically a feed of AI research papers + a one-liner explaining what problem its solving, etc. You can also click on any paper to get a TL;DR. Right now, I've only indexed a few hundred large language model papers, but will expand to indexing AI papers in other topics. Thinking of also adding a way for people to up-vote/down-vote papers. Would love to hear any thoughts/feedback! :D Thanks!

  • Deep search of all ML papers2024 · app.undermind.ai · ▲109

    Built an automated system to run a deep search of ArXiv and carefully find all the precise papers that exist on a complex topic. It's different from simple RAG because it searches, classifies, and adapts based on relevant papers it uncovers, and then continues until it finds every paper on a topic (trying to mimic the human research process). Benchmarked 10x higher accuracy and total retrieval compared to Google Scholar for a median search (whitepaper on website). Also knows when it is complete, and misses virtually nothing (< 3% or so, once it's converged). Website has a free trial and a…

  • TopicRadar – Track trending topics across HN, GitHub, ArXiv, and moreJan 2026 · apify.com · ▲36

    Hey HN! I built TopicRadar to solve a problem I had with staying on top of what's trending in AI&#x2F;ML without checking 7+ sites daily. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apify.com&#x2F;mick-johnson&#x2F;topic-radar What it does: - Aggregates from HackerNews, GitHub, arXiv, StackOverflow, Lobste.rs, Papers with Code, and Semantic Scholar - One-click presets: "Trending: AI & ML", "Trending: Startups", "Trending: Developer Tools" - Or track custom topics (e.g., "rust async", "transformer models") - Gets 150-175 results in under 5 minutes Built for the Apify $1M Challenge. It's free to try – just hit "Try for…

  • I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input&#x2F;output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

    Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
