What is it about?
Researchers often struggle to find the right academic papers quickly because there are millions of them online. Our work introduces a smarter recommendation system that helps solve this problem. It uses two advanced tools: knowledge graphs, which capture the relationships between papers, authors, and topics, and IRGAN, a modern AI method that learns to give better suggestions through trial and error. Together, they create a system that delivers more accurate and relevant paper recommendations, saving researchers time and helping them discover important work they might otherwise miss.

Why is it important?
Researchers face information overload as millions of new academic papers appear each year. Many existing recommendation systems struggle to capture the complex relationships between research topics, authors, and publications. Our work is unique because it combines knowledge graphs, which map these relationships, with advanced AI (IRGAN) that learns to give better suggestions over time. This approach makes paper discovery faster, smarter, and more accurate, helping researchers stay up to date and reducing the risk of missing important work.
Perspectives
As a researcher, I often see colleagues overwhelmed by the sheer volume of academic papers published every day. With this work, my goal was to create a tool that not only recommends papers but truly understands the relationships between research topics and authors. I believe integrating knowledge graphs with modern AI techniques like IRGAN will transform how we discover and connect with academic knowledge, ultimately saving researchers time and helping them make more impactful contributions.
