Source for citation numbers

[bfirsh]

Out of interest, where did you get the numbers for citations? Did you use any mechanism for discovering these papers, or was it purely your own knowledge?

Not really. I hope I could find a way to automatically update the list of good papers, but there's not. I just searched papers and tracked their references.
For example, if I find a famous paper, I check the author's google citation page to see if he/she has more good papers. Also, I check the papers that cite the famous paper, also the papers that is cited by the famous papers. It's kinda infinite chains...haha.

You have searched papers and tracked their references , and if your have the data such as H index ? I can write some code to show the data use chartjs tools.

Seems like you're doing exactly what this algorithm does. I'll look into implementations tomorrow. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HITS_algorithm

You can use google scholar data. There is a project on GitHub to retrieve publication metadata - https://github.com/ckreibich/scholar.py.

Example of running script for a paper from the list:

python scholar.py -c 1 -t -A "Training very deep networks" --after=2015 --before=2017
