Deep dives
Finding Guests for the Show
Finding guests for the podcast is primarily done algorithmically. The host crawls the archive at rxiv.org, a preprint platform, and selects publications in specific categories of interest. The text from the publications is extracted and indexed using keywords and BERT embeddings. A machine learning model trained on these embeddings predicts the interest level of each publication. By combining keyword matching and predicted interest, the top results are selected and presented to the host for consideration.
