- More accurate classification of complex papers
Multi-Criteria Ranking
- Combines relevance, novelty, and impact scores
- Provides comprehensive paper ranking
- Helps identify most important research
3. Classification System
Papers are classified into eight levels across the intelligence spectrum:
| Level | Criteria | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ASI | 3+ ASI keywords or highest-level reasoning | Direct focus on superintelligence and existential risk |
| AGI | 3+ AGI keywords or high-level reasoning | Direct focus on general intelligence capabilities |
| ACI | 3+ ACI keywords or collective intelligence focus | Multi-agent systems and swarm intelligence |
| ANI | 3+ ANI keywords or specialized AI focus | Task-specific AI and domain expertise |
| Other AI | 3+ Other AI keywords or general AI focus | Broad AI topics and applications |
| ML | 3+ ML keywords or machine learning focus | Learning algorithms and statistical methods |
| DS | 3+ DS keywords or data science focus | Data analysis and methodologies |
| Not Related | No significant matches | No clear AI/ML/DS connection |
4. Ranking Algorithm
The ranking system uses weighted scoring:
Relevance Score (50%)
- Based on keyword matches and semantic analysis
- ASI and AGI keywords weighted higher (3.0x)
- ACI and ANI keywords weighted medium (2.0-2.5x)
- Other AI and ML keywords weighted lower (1.5x)
- DS and related keywords weighted lowest (1.0x)
- Semantic analysis adds up to 20 points
Novelty Score (30%)
- Measures keyword diversity and uniqueness
- Bonus for papers with multiple intelligence level keywords
- Encourages innovative research
Impact Score (20%)
- Based on classification level
- Higher levels (ASI, AGI) have higher base impact
- Reflects potential significance
Composite Score
Composite = (Relevance Γ 0.5) + (Novelty Γ 0.3) + (Impact Γ 0.2)
