I feel like we need a bot to post ASSIST and ACM journal papers too. I love the arXiv bots we have so much that it makes sense to expand that a bit, considering we are a STEM instance.

@freemo
That would be pretty cool. Also there are a lot STEM related articles on MEDIUM. They can be posted here too.

@shibaprasad I would have no issue getting STEM related articles from medium or other places here.

There are two issues though.. 1) how much coding does it take (most of the current bots work off rss feeds).. 2) Can we ensure that **all** the posts are STEM related and high quality (if so id consider making it public if not it would be ok but unlisted).

@freemo
Both of your points are quite valid. It would be difficult I guess for a bot to segregate non STEM related posts from STEM related posts.

@shibaprasad If i had the time it wouldnt be too hard with NLP really. A Fisher classifer could probably do it easy enough with a little training. But sadly I dont have the time for that right now.

@freemo
Yeah no issues man.

I will keep posting if I see something interesting.

@shibaprasad Awesome. I'll share when i see it and read it. Dont feel bad if i miss some reboosts as i dont always have time.

@freemo
I won't mind even if you don't boost any man. That's never the objective.
