TL;DR for PaperBricks: "Formalize the structure of papers, such that each paper is composed of one or many (clearly marked) of the following "sections" ("bricks"): symbol description my description "I" Introduction ("domain intro") "PS" Problem Statement ("specific problem") "HLSI" High-Level Solution Idea ("solution vision") "D" Details ("solution implementation") "PE" Performance Evaluation ("benchmarks") and each "brick" must reference one or many bricks of the same or "earlier" level, forming a global graph." -------- >8 ---------- >8 ---------- Some of the advantages: * no need to…

Each piece of a piece of a full paper (intro, data, analysis, ...) could be peer-reviewed and published individually. A full paper could then be built from these paper-bricks. Anyway, recommend reading the paper as it's well written and clear. There's also a…

I think it would be both amazingly useful and could speed up the iteration rate of science substantially.
