Barbell reading: daily paper radar

Get three to five frontier papers every morning, with transferable insights saved to your knowledge base.

Classics build the base model; papers update the frontier. Kollab scans arXiv, Semantic Scholar, and related sources for your research areas, filters out benchmark-only noise, keeps the papers worth a 10-minute read, and saves the structural takeaways into Notion.

Barbell reading: daily paper radar workflow visual

Build me a daily paper radar for a barbell reading strategy. Research areas I care about: - [for example: the intersection of AI and cognitive science] - [for example: complex systems and emergence] - [for example: decision psychology and behavioral economics] Paper sources: - arXiv and Semantic Scholar - Google Scholar or public paper lists in the field Filtering rules: - Prioritize transferable, counterintuitive research that updates my thinking framework. - Exclude pure implementation details, benchmark swaps, and small metric improvements. - Send 3 to 5 papers every morning at 8 AM. For each paper, output: 1. Paper title (Chinese translation + original title) 2. One-sentence conclusion (within 30 Chinese characters) 3. Why it is worth attention 4. Transferable structural finding 5. Deep-read value: high / medium / low 6. Today's cognitive point At the end, gather today's cognitive points into one Notion record titled "Daily Paper Radar - YYYY-MM-DD" and include each paper link.

How the workflow runs

Read through the workflow once, then swap in your own roles, sources, and outputs.

Define your paper radar

Add research areas, sources, and exclusions so Kollab knows what is worth keeping.

Filter every morning

At 8 AM, Kollab scans paper sources and keeps only three to five that can update your frame.

Review structure in 10 minutes

Each paper gets a conclusion, filter reason, transferable insight, and deep-read score.

Save the cognitive points to Notion

Daily notes become a reusable research trail you can revisit later.
