Our NFDI4DS Lecture Series continues with Lecture 14 on 24. March 2026 9:00 online.
Title: Scholar Inbox: Personalized Paper Recommendations for Scientists
In this talk, Prof. Andreas Geiger will present Scholar Inbox, a new open-access platform designed to address the challenges researchers face in staying current with the rapidly expanding volume of scientific literature. Scholar Inbox provides personalized recommendations, continuous updates from open-access archives (arXiv, bioRxiv, etc.), visual paper summaries, semantic search, and a range of tools to streamline research workflows and promote open research access. The platform’s personalized recommendation system is trained on user ratings, ensuring that recommendations are tailored to individual researchers’ interests. Scholar Inbox also offers a map of science that provides an overview of research across domains, enabling users to easily explore specific topics. The talk will present the current state of the platform, its features, the recommendation algorithm as well as current challenges. It will end with an outlook on future research that is planned to conduct towards building better AI assistants for scientists.
