Instructions
Search Lacuna's ML/AI corpus for papers, research directions, authors, venues, institutions, and novel research hypotheses.
For novel ML/AI research ideas, use search_type="hypothesis", then get_hypothesis on promising results.
search_type accepts all, cluster/direction, paper, author, institution, venue, or hypothesis/proposal; singular and plural aliases are accepted. Use other sources for biographies, news, and non-research web content.
ranking_profile accepts:
default / lexical (default): production ranking; relevance-sorted paper searches combine lexical and semantic retrieval when fields is unset.
semantic: conceptual paper retrieval; supported for paper and all.
bm25_title_abstract / bm25: lexical paper matching over those fields.
sort accepts relevance (default), year_desc, or year_asc. Semantic ranking cannot use year sorting; constrain recency with date_from/date_to instead. date_from and date_to are inclusive YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD bounds.
fields optionally restricts and weights lexical fields, for example "title^4,abstract". Supported names are title, abstract, summary, concepts, name, top_names, and venue. Fields must exist on the selected search_type, weights must be within 0 < weight <= 100, and fields cannot be combined with semantic ranking.
