Hirshberg Avi Feller Ayush Kanodia Tianyu Du Eli Ben-Michael Mohsen Bayati Brantly Callaway Bruno Ferman Anish Agarwal Whitney K. Newey Proximity is measured over citations between two papers we both hold, weighted by how heavily one leans on the other, and is symmetric — it does not distinguish citing from being cited. Authors without a profile here are skipped, and a genuinely close colleague can be missing simply because their work is not in our arXiv corpus. Method: docs/06-citations-pipeline.md .
