What is ArTok?
ArTok is “TikTok for research papers.” As a researcher, I found it hard to discover new ML papers without getting stuck in recommendation loops. So I built a random, swipe-based feed for exploring papers. No signups. Free. Fast discovery, no noise.
Problem
Researchers manually search for new papers, facing time-consuming processes and algorithmic recommendation loops that limit exposure to diverse content.
Solution
A web platform offering a random, swipe-based feed for discovering research papers, enabling users to explore ML papers quickly without signups. Example: Swipe left/right to browse papers.
Customers
Researchers, particularly in machine learning (ML), seeking efficient paper discovery without algorithmic bias.
Unique Features
TikTok-style interface for academic content, randomized feed to break recommendation loops, zero signup requirement.
User Comments
