General Topic Query Templates

Query construction

Use this template:

<task/problem> + <domain> + <method/constraint>

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=<QUERY>&abstracts=show&order=-announced_date_first

API pattern:

https://export.arxiv.org/api/query?search_query=all:<QUERY>&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/<FROM_DATE>/<TO_DATE>/<CURSOR>

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
