What is scime?
scime maps ten years of top-tier ML and vision research, 80,486 accepted papers from ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR and AAAI (2016 to 2026), so you can see where a research idea fits before you spend months on it.
- Place your idea. Describe it in a sentence. scime shows the area, topic and cluster it lands in and the closest papers by meaning.
- Check novelty with AI. Compares your idea with the nearest abstracts: what overlaps, what is different, and how to make it more distinct.
- Flow. See how areas and topics grew or shrank year by year. The AI topic guide shows rising and cooling directions and open problems, each linked to real papers.
Free and anonymous, no account needed. AI features are limited per day.
Place your idea
Describe what you plan to try. See which area, topic and cluster it lands in, and the closest of all 80,486 accepted papers.
Be specific: name the method, the task and, if you can, the data. For example, "few-shot image classification by adapting CLIP with learned prompts" finds much closer work than "image classification with foundation models".
To find related papers, your idea is sent to our server and matched by meaning with an open-source model. It is not stored and not sent to anyone else.
