# ML-Quant > ML-Quant ranks new research on machine learning in quantitative finance every week. Each Friday it screens every new arXiv, SSRN and RePEc paper, ranks the best 30 per venue with a one-sentence summary and the paper's key figure, tracks every featured paper's citations and journal publication on Semantic Scholar, and reports what about 10,600 quant developers starred on GitHub. 132 issues since May 2023; 6,396 featured papers. Every page has a Markdown twin: append `index.md` to its URL. Our summaries are CC BY 4.0; please link back.
