Agent Memory
- AI: Inspect repo structure, README tasks, evaluation scripts, and issue/release patterns before borrowing mechanisms.
- LLM: Inspect repo structure, README tasks, evaluation scripts, and issue/release patterns before borrowing mechanisms.
- LLM4Rec: Inspect repo structure, README tasks, evaluation scripts, and issue/release patterns before borrowing mechanisms.
- AI4EDA analog circuit design: Extract problem framing, method components, evaluation axes, limitations, and candidate baselines; do not copy prose. This is a fallback pick because live sources did not return a domain-qualified fresh item.
- AI4S protein/biology: Inspect repo structure, README tasks, evaluation scripts, and issue/release patterns before borrowing mechanisms.
Sources
- EXTRACTED: Abstracts and metadata come from arXiv, Semantic Scholar, GitHub, and configured fallback public links where available.
- EXTRACTED: Raw evidence and API errors are stored under
raw/weekly-research-digests/.
Counterpoints and Gaps
- AMBIGUOUS: API rate limits and search ranking can bias weekly picks toward repos or older fallback papers.
- INFERRED: Treat each pick as an inspiration lead for agent recall, not as a final survey or citation-quality literature review.
Evidence Notes
- EXTRACTED: Abstracts and metadata come from public scholarly/project APIs where available.
- INFERRED: Signal scores combine source quality, topical match, recency/update signal, citations/stars when available, and reusable idea density.
- Do not treat this digest as exhaustive literature review; use it as a weekly inspiration and routing layer.
