**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 × 0.5) + (Novelty × 0.3) + (Impact × 0.2)
```

5. **Context**: May miss papers with novel terminology

### Best Practices

1. **Verify Results**: Always review AI-generated classifications
2. **Use Multiple Models**: Compare results across different models
3. **Update Keywords**: Regularly review and update keyword lists
4. **Consider Context**: Use classifications as one data point
5. **Track Trends**: Focus on patterns over individual classifications
