Pool of Thought Open the demo

Every morning · one field · a few picks

What deserves your attention today, and why.

Hundreds of new papers land in an active field every day. Pool of Thought reads all of them each morning, notices which areas are unusually busy, weighs every paper against the goals you set, and picks the few worth your time. Every pick comes with its reasons, and so does everything it left out.

Every pick explains itself

Feeds rarely tell you what they didn't show you. Here every paper keeps its reasons for the day, whether it won or not.

Don't Ask the LLM: Visual Token Pruning with Spectral Structure and Semantic Relevance

  • Serves a goal: efficient inference
  • First of 42 on the day's shortlist

Computer Vision · arrived, not on the shortlist

AlbumVSR: Identity-Preserving Face Video Super-Resolution from a Personal Photo Album

  • 318th of 1,001 on the first pass, which weighs goal fit, the area's momentum and released code. Only the top 314 were scored in full.
  • Serves none of the goals, so it could only compete for one of Vision's own places.

Both cards are from the demo's day of 30 October 2026, as its Explore view shows them. The preprint feed had nothing newer when last checked on 31 October 2026, so that is still the newest day.

You set the goals

A workspace starts from a few standing goals in plain words: what you're researching, what you follow, what you're learning. Each one leans on the ranking by a weight you choose. Switch one off and the day re-ranks in front of you.

If you want more judgment than keywords give, a language model you choose can grade papers against a rubric you write, under a monthly spending cap you set.
