confgrep

A grep tool for the top conferences, fork from https://github.com/Kyle-Kyle/top4grep

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Yiteng-Peng/confgrep.git
cd confgrep
pip3 install -e .

Usage

Database Initialization

If you want to update the papers stored in papers.db, you can recreate it with:

confgrep --build-db

Which will build the db wherever you run it.

confgrep --build-db -f <fields> -yl 2000 -yh 2024

Use -yl and -yh to set year low(default:2000) and year high(default:2024)

Use -f to choose specific field, default is all field. Now support:

CONFERENCES["SC"] = ["NDSS", "IEEE S&P", "USENIX", "CCS"]
CONFERENCES["SE"] = ["FSE", "ICSE", "ISSTA", "ASE"]

So you can use -f sc (case insensitive, so also fine for -f SC) to only choose security conferences.

Add your favorite conferences follow the comments in ./confgrep/config.py

Query

confgrep -k <kerywords>

For example, python confgrep.py -k linux,kernel Currently, the query is just a case-insensitive match (just like grep). The returned results must contains all the input keywords (papers containing keyword1 AND keyword2 AND ...). Support for OR operation (papers containing keyword1 OR keyword2) is missing, but will be added in the future.

confgrep -k <kerywords> -f <fields> -yl 2000 -yh 2024

Use -yl and -yh to set year low(default:2000) and year high(default:2024)

Use -f to choose specific field, default is all field.

TODO

• grep in abstract
• fuzzy match
• complex search logic (OR operation)
