Goal
Update the user's academic homepage (hosted on GitHub) by:
- •Identifying papers currently marked as "preprint" or "under review".
- •Checking the user's emails for acceptance notifications for those papers.
- •Updating the paper's status on the homepage from "under review" to "accepted" (including specific conference/venue details).
- •For accepted papers, checking if a corresponding code repository exists on the user's GitHub and adding a link to it on the homepage.
Core Workflow
1. Initial Discovery & Setup
- •Use
github-get_meto confirm the user's GitHub identity and profile. - •Use
github-search_repositorieswith the user's username to find their homepage repository (typically named something likeMy-Homepage,personal-website,academic-kickstart, or containing_publications/or_posts/directories). Also note other repositories that might contain paper code. - •Use
emails-get_emailsoremails-search_emailsto fetch recent emails. Look for keywords like "accepted", "camera-ready", "congratulations", and conference names (COML, COAI, ICML, NeurIPS, etc.).
2. Analyze Homepage Publications
- •Navigate to the homepage repository's
_publications/,_posts/, or similar directory usinggithub-get_file_contents. - •Read the Markdown or YAML files for each publication.
- •Identify Target Papers: Parse the
venuefield. Flag any paper where the venue contains phrases like "Under review at", "preprint", "arXiv", or "submitted to".
3. Cross-Reference with Emails
- •For each target paper, extract its title and suspected conference name.
- •Search through the fetched emails for matches. Key email indicators:
- •Subject lines containing "accepted", "camera-ready", or the conference name.
- •Email body containing the paper's title or clear congratulations.
- •Specific details like "oral presentation" or "workshop".
- •Use
emails-read_emailon promising emails to get full details and confirm acceptance.
4. Map Code Repositories
- •From the initial repository search, create a mapping. Repository names often contain keywords from paper titles (e.g., "llm-adaptive-learning", "optimizing-llms-contextual-reasoning").
- •For each accepted paper, try to find a matching repository by comparing sanitized paper titles/keywords with repository names.
5. Execute Updates
- •For each accepted paper, prepare an updated publication file.
- •Change the
venuefield from "Under review at X" to "X" or "X (Oral)". - •If a matching code repository was found, add or update a
codeurl:field in the frontmatter with the GitHub URL (e.g.,https://github.com/<username>/<repo-name>).
- •Change the
- •Use
github-get_file_contentsto get the current file's SHA. - •Use
github-create_or_update_fileto commit the changes with a descriptive message (e.g., "Update paper status: [Paper Title] accepted at [Conference], add code repository link").
Key Decision Points & Heuristics
- •Conference Name Extraction: When updating the
venuefield, remove "Under review at " or "Submitted to ". Use the full conference name from the email (e.g., "COML 2025 - Conference on Machine Learning"). - •Oral Presentations: If an email specifies "oral presentation", append " (Oral)" to the venue.
- •Workshop Papers: Treat workshop acceptances (e.g., COMLW) as standard acceptances.
- •Code Repository Matching: Be flexible. Match on key terms (ignore "the", "for", "a", hyphens, spaces). A repository like
optimizing-llms-contextual-reasoningclearly matches a paper titled "Optimizing Large Language Models for Contextual Reasoning...". - •Email Search Strategy: If an initial targeted search (
"paper accepted") fails, fall back to fetching a broader batch of emails and scanning them manually.
Error Handling & Validation
- •SHA Mismatch: If
github-create_or_update_filefails with a 409 error, refetch the file to get the latest SHA and retry. - •No Homepage Found: If no obvious homepage repo is found, list the user's repositories and ask for clarification.
- •Ambiguous Email: If an email's acceptance is not explicit, do not update the paper. It's better to be conservative.
- •No Matching Code Repo: It's acceptable. Only add the
codeurlif a clear match is found.
Final Output
Provide the user with a summary of changes made:
- •List each paper updated, its new status, and conference.
- •List any code repository links added.
- •Note any papers that remain under review because no acceptance email was found.
