What do you think would be a good way to prioritise papers? It seems to be especially difficult when the papers are not yet rated by the users. We were thinking of some algorithm that would analyse the authors of the paper and their previous track record, but it feels somewhat unfair towards the new/young academics?

Super curious about your thoughts.

hmm that’s true - I think if you could get a measure of interest for the paper like views on arxiv or number of mentions online, that could be a good metric to use.

it’s also possible that the LLM will be able to determine well which results are important vs which are minor improvements / changes that are not important for me to listen to.

the economist does a „world in brief” news summary daily, and having that for the papers that are relevant to me would be great!

Thanks. I think it is easy with older papers, since then there already a lot engagement, but it can more tricky with new submissions. How would you deal with new submissions? For myself I am quite often looking through papers in the morning that were published the day before.

I like the idea of the "world in brief" - I will try to add it.
