The current academic publication model has several problems, including unethical fees and no payment for either the author or the reviewer (see ongoing discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35848894). It appears that there is no good way of getting out of the trap, because:
1. Researchers rely on being recognized as published and having their papers cited for promotions.<p>So, open platforms like arxiv exist to publish to the masses. However...<p>2. Readers rely on quality criteria to sift through the thousands of articles out there. Papers in highly reputed journals and conference proceedings have already gone through a pass through expert reviews.<p>What does HN think the likelihood is of us getting an LLM that might be able to assuage this issue by providing a good, robust review judging by research quality standards? Is anybody already working on this?
The point of the peer review process is to get your work reviewed by peers.<p>However LLM could be used to filter garbage papers, to help designing a research study, to help writing, or to simulate a review before submitting.
