I made a NeurIPS 2026 paper explorer for browsing the 6,231 accepted papers
https://flecomet.github.io/neurips-explorer/
Update (Oct 11): Thanks for the feedback! I've re-scraped the NeurIPS website and expanded coverage from 6,231 to 9,110 papers. I've also added filters for conference location (Paris, Sydney, Atlanta) and presentation type (oral, spotlight, poster).
The UMAP projection has been recomputed with the additional papers, so some clusters have changed in relative size.
More improvements are planned. Feature suggestions are welcome!
----
It uses SPECTER2 embeddings + UMAP to place semantically similar papers near each other. You can browse topics, search titles/authors/abstracts, and find related papers.
You can also favorite papers to read later (when they get officially released).
Would be interested in feedback, especially on whether this is useful for browsing papers and interesting features to add.
