Built from every arXiv paper cited in our papers, posts, topic hubs, reports and research notes, with titles, authors, dates and abstracts from the arXiv API (updated 2026-11-12). Summaries are the opening sentences of each paper's own abstract, not our assessment; a citation means we used or checked the work, not that we endorse it. Fields follow each paper's primary arXiv category. Papers cited only outside arXiv (journals, proceedings) are not listed yet. Entries are generated from our citations, so a mistyped ID in a note would list the wrong paper; we remove those as we find them. Report a wrong entry.
