   Asking earnestly: is ArXiv a valuable resource? I used it few years back when finishing my (late) Master's, but also saw a lot of crap published there (primarily for promotion/visa purposes) so it kind of took the shine out of the service for me.

      My take: if not for arxiv and huggingface, the field of ML would be nowhere near where it is today.

      More to your question, I recommend something like semanticscholar to find actual relevant papers. Try to identify researchers that seem trustworthy, then explore the citation network around them.

      For more hot off the press stuff, follow what gets boosted on social media.

      Still doesn’t cover the truly niche stuff but it’s a start
