Audio ML paper discoveryResearch Radar

Detect emerging, bridge-candidate, and undercited papers inside a curated audio-ML corpus, then expose the signals behind every recommendation.

Evaluation

Evaluation v0: ranked feed vs simple baselines

Bridge familyDistributional checks only

This page calls GET /api/v1/evaluation/compare so you can inspect the same candidate pool under three orderings: materialized ranking, citation-sorted, and date-sorted. Nothing here measures whether researchers would find the papers useful; it only shows distributional checks on short lists.

Interpretation guardrails

Interpretation notes

These outputs help compare ranking behavior and expose drift; they are not expert-reviewed evidence that papers are useful to researchers.

  • Side-by-side lists share the same candidate pool for the selected recommendation family and corpus snapshot.
  • Recency, citation, and topic summaries are coarse proxies over the short lists shown; they do not measure whether a researcher would find a paper useful.
  • Topic overlap uses Jaccard similarity on topic labels attached to papers in this corpus, not semantic similarity of full text.
  • Use ranked outputs for product behavior; use this endpoint to sanity-check drift against naive orderings.

Run context

Run and pool

Run shadow-generalization-product-candidate-ranking-v1 | rank-83787b91ef | snapshot source-snapshot-shadow-generalization-v1-20260521 | embedding shadow-generalization-text-embedding-v1 | pool size 528

All included works in the corpus snapshot (same candidate set as the ranking run's emerging/bridge families).

Topic labels are imported metadata and can be noisy; use them as coarse navigation hints, not authoritative classifications.

Bridge family

Bridge distinctness diagnostics

  • Diagnostic only.
  • Not a researcher-reviewed usefulness benchmark.
  • Used to inspect whether this bridge review arm is worth further evaluation.
  • Use these diagnostics to decide whether the bridge experiment deserves further evaluation.

Pinned to the same ranking run as the compare response above. Overlap and coverage are structural checks on short heads, not measures of paper usefulness.

List overlap

Topic label overlap between lists

Jaccard index on the set of OpenAlex topic labels appearing in the top tags of each paper in the list. High overlap means similar topic mix, not similar intellectual content.

Focus paper: https://openalex.org/W4405899471 is not visible in this arm.

Materialized ranking run: order by final_score descending, then work_id (stable tie-break). Blend and signals follow this run's persisted family_weights and paper_scores (semantic may be used for Emerging when configured).
