Productivity Through Automation

A newly developed Python tool called weekly_archive enhances research efficiency by streamlining the process of accessing recent academic papers. This script queries an archive API to retrieve the latest 200 abstracts based on user-defined topics, formatting the results into an easily navigable Markdown document. For instance, while researching large language models (LLMs), the tool provided immediate access to multiple recent papers relevant to autonomous driving. This feature eliminates the need for manual searches through vast archives, significantly improving the productivity of researchers.
