| > How do you get articles/papers/talks recommendations? For papers, mostly through social sharing I think. HN, reddit, and slack communities. For videos, I subscribe to a few youtube channels, like PapersWeLove. Reddit has /r/contalks as well for a broader list. The rest is second order effects. If in the course of reading an article, I notice the author because I've seen another article from them I like, I'll subscribe to them. Bloggers have RSS feeds, and even researchers like Cormac Herley can be followed via Google Scholar. Or if a conference seems to produce a lot of interesting research, I'll add it to my calendar for next year to review next year's crop of papers. And the stuff I read typically has references, so if a subject interests me, I'll typically glance at the citations as I encounter them and put interesting ones in my backlog. > a tool capable of tracking articles/papers/talks you read/like and suggest things you could be interested in. Does anybody use/know a tool like that? Youtube does this. I get recommendations for USENIX talks that are fairly newly uploaded, because ive watched a few in the past. This is actually useful since sometimes USENIX uploads videos years after the conference; I seem to be getting a few recs from conference recordings taken years ago but uploaded this week. I'd imagine Mendeley and other citation managers could also help here, but it's pretty niche and as a not-professional researcher, adopting these for professional use is far down my backlog. |
