Search roughly ten million computer science papers, articles, theses and proceedings, and the people who wrote them. Keyless.

Where the answers come from

A stored copy of the dblp computer science bibliography (Schloss Dagstuhl and the dblp team), built from the publisher’s bulk release. The data is released under CC0 1.0, a public domain dedication, so a copy is licence-clean.

The publisher’s live search answers automated callers with a proof-of-work challenge page. We do not solve or evade it, and this pack does not call the live site. A monthly job rebuilds the copy; every answer carries:

• data_as_of, the date the publisher released the data that answered
• answered_from, always stored_copy
• licence, CC0 1.0 (public domain dedication)

Before the first load there is no copy. Every tool then fails with stored_copy_unavailable and says why. It never returns an empty success.

Tools

dblp_search_publications({query: "attention is all you need"})
  -> Attention is All you Need, Ashish Vaswani et al., NIPS 2017
dblp_search_authors({query: "Yoshua Bengio"})
  -> b/YoshuaBengio, most-published match first

How matching works, and where it is limited

• Words are matched without regard to case or accents; short words such as “the” and “of” are ignored.
• A title or a name typed as a phrase is matched as a phrase first, then every record that has all the words follows. Within each class, newest first.
• A very common word (“learning”) indexes only its newest records (for people, the most-published). Results for such queries are verified against the record, but an older match can be missing, and then total is null with a total_note instead of a count. Add a second word or a name to narrow it.
• hits is capped at 100 per call (the live service allowed 1000).
• Venue strings are as dblp writes them; there is no venue id.
