I'm currently looking into what makes a scientific paper more popular than others on a platform like Hugging Face. I conducted a huge array of tests, content length, time based information even semantic feature extraction to get to some sort of answer around...
What actually drives popularity of these papers, why do some papers get zero upvotes and why do some get thousands?
The answer is absolutely nothing. Yes that's right. Nothing about the actual paper itself drives popularity, the paper's popularity is driven by external factors like it's authors, external marketing and others.
So next time you see a research paper with a lot of upvotes, just remember it's not because of the efforts of the authors. Remain objective.
