Query construction
Use this template:
<task/problem> + <domain> + <method/constraint>
Examples:
test-time adaptation + medical imaging + robustnessmultimodal retrieval + biomedicine + contrastive learningspeech representation + low-resource + self-supervised 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
