Stanford AI Lab Unveils alphaXiv, An Open Discussion Forum for arXiv Papers
Students from Stanford University built ‘alphaXiv,’a platform that enables open research discussions on arXiv, the well-known research paper repository. arXiv, an open- access, free repository forum that hosts preprints of scientific papers in various fields, including physics, mathematics, computer science, and other subjects, was founded in 1991 and is operated by Cornell University. Nice. https://t.co/nvKOcxgtrH— Yann LeCun (@ylecun) July 31, 2024 alphaXiv enables users to comment on arXiv papers line-by-line. They share insights, raise questions, and discuss ideas with other researchers and authors. Besides public discussions, users also have the option to post private annotations. They can interact by changing arXiv to alphaXiv in the url of any arXiv paper. Fostering Research The research community has shared their support for alphaXiv that now allows two-way communication between readers and authors. Source: X Researchers extensively use arXiv to share their findings with the global scientific community before formal peer review and publication in academic journals. The platform allows for rapid dissemination of new research, enabling scientists to receive feedback and collaborate with others. While papers on arXiv are not peer-reviewed, they are often cited and widely read, contributing to the early sharing of scientific ideas and discoveries. Last year, Cornell Tech received $10 million in funding for arXiv with contributions from Simons Foundation and the National Science Foundation. The funding was said to help facilitate the migration of arXiv’s 2 million+ articles to the cloud.
This will now allow readers to interact with the authors of the research papers.
