scime atlas · for developers and AI assistants

Use the atlas from code or an AI assistant

Send a research idea in one or two sentences and get back the closest accepted papers (ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, AAAI, 2016–2026), how crowded the area is, recent arXiv preprints and fast-growing approaches nearby. Free, no sign-in, no key.

Paste a result into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini

After you place an idea on the map, press Copy for AI under the result. It copies the idea, where it lands, the nearest papers with links and the yearly counts as plain text, ready to paste into any AI chat with your own question.

REST API

GET https://atlas.scime.ai/api/v1/related?idea=<your idea>
ParameterMeaning
ideaThe idea in English, 8–2,000 characters. Naming the method, the task and the data works best.
kHow many nearest accepted papers to return, 1–20 (default 10).
preprints0 leaves out recent arXiv preprints (default: included).
formattext returns a plain-text summary for language models; default is JSON.

Example

curl "https://atlas.scime.ai/api/v1/related?idea=speculative%20decoding%20with%20a%20small%20draft%20model&k=5"
import requests
r = requests.get("https://atlas.scime.ai/api/v1/related",
                 params={"idea": "speculative decoding with a small draft model", "k": 5})
for p in r.json()["papers"]:
    print(round(p["sim"], 2), p["t"], p["v"], p["yr"])

The JSON has papers (title t, venue v, year yr, link s, similarity sim), clusters (area, topic, approach), closelyRelated and perYear (closely related papers per year, 2016–2026), preprints and openings.

Find a field

Look up an area, topic, keyword cluster or approach by name or keyword (abbreviations such as LLM, RLHF or NeRF work too). Each result has a path you can open in the Flow: https://atlas.scime.ai/?view=flow&path=0.1. Or open https://atlas.scime.ai/?q=continual+learning to jump straight to the best match.

MCP for AI assistants

Assistants that support the Model Context Protocol can add the atlas as a remote server at https://atlas.scime.ai/mcp. It offers one tool, find_related_papers, with the same inputs and results as the REST API.
