# General Topic Query Templates ## Query construction Use this template: ` + + ` Examples: - `test-time adaptation + medical imaging + robustness` - `multimodal retrieval + biomedicine + contrastive learning` - `speech representation + low-resource + self-supervised learning` ## Topic starters ### Machine learning - `test-time adaptation` - `domain generalization` - `uncertainty estimation` - `causal representation learning` ### Multimodal and language - `multimodal foundation model` - `retrieval augmented generation` - `vision-language model evaluation` - `long-context reasoning` ### Bio/health - `protein language model` - `single-cell foundation model` - `computational pathology` - `clinical prediction model calibration` ### Neuroscience / BCI - `EEG decoding` - `speech decoding from EEG` - `brain-computer interface` - `neural signal representation learning` ## Source-specific tips ### arXiv Search page pattern: `https://arxiv.org/search/?searchtype=all&query=&abstracts=show&order=-announced_date_first` API pattern: `https://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:&start=0&max_results=50&sortBy=submittedDate&sortOrder=descending` ### bioRxiv Use API by date range and then filter by query text: `https://api.biorxiv.org/details/biorxiv///` Example: `https://api.biorxiv.org/details/biorxiv/2026-01-01/2026-04-23/0` ## Practical defaults - Query length: 3 to 8 words - Time range: last 3 months (`--months 3`) - Sources: `--source both` - Result cap: `--max-results 50` ## Anti-patterns - Too broad: `AI`, `biology`, `vision` - Too narrow with hard constraints before retrieval - Mixing too many unrelated concepts in one query
