CV_Paper_Portal: A Static Index of Computer Vision Conference Papers
Paper Portal for Top Conferences in the Field of Computer Vision and Artificial intelligence
At a glance
- What is it?
- CV_Paper_Portal collects abstracts from CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACM Multimedia, SIGGRAPH and ACL into a set of GitHub Pages sites. It is a browsing aid, not a search engine, and the repository itself is mostly a directory of links.
- Who is it for?
- Adopt CV_Paper_Portal if you want a free, no-login index of abstracts for CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACM Multimedia, SIGGRAPH and ACL, and if you are willing to open each year as its own page. Skip it if you need full-text search, citation export, or a stable API.
- Can I use it commercially?
- Not without permission. GitHub finds no licence file in the repository, and without a licence all rights are reserved by default: you may read the code but not reuse it. Check the README, or ask the authors, before using it.
- Is it still maintained?
- Yes. The repository last received commits 7 days ago.
- What is it written in?
- GitHub does not report a main language for this repository.

Editorial analysis
What CV_Paper_Portal Actually Is
The repository hongsong-wang/CV_Paper_Portal is a landing page, not an application. Its README is a long list of links to per-conference, per-year GitHub Pages sites, each of which hosts a collection of paper abstracts. The stated purpose, in the author's own words, is to help "students and researchers quickly locating papers based on keywords." That is the whole scope.
The top level of the repository contains only .github/, README.md, _config.yml and index.md. There is no crawler, no database, no server code. The work of collecting and formatting abstracts happens elsewhere, and the results are published as static pages under the hongsong-wang.github.io domain. The README notes that most of the data, including the abstracts, was collected from arxiv.org.
The audience is narrow and specific: a graduate student who wants to skim what was accepted at CVPR 2024 without opening the official proceedings site, or someone checking whether a particular keyword appeared at ECCV 2022. If you need to search full text, export BibTeX, or track citations, this is the wrong layer of tooling.
How the Portal Is Organized: One Page per Venue per Year
The README groups links under two headings, Vision and Language. Under Vision you find CVPR with links back to 2013, ICCV back to 2013, ECCV back to 2018, ACM Multimedia back to 2013, SIGGRAPH back to 2020, and SIGGRAPH Asia back to 2020. Under Language the README begins the ACL section, and the supplied text is truncated there, so the full list of language venues cannot be confirmed from this material.
Each link points to a separate GitHub Pages site, for example https://hongsong-wang.github.io/CVPR2024_ABSTRACT/ or https://hongsong-wang.github.io/ECCV2026/. Naming is not perfectly consistent: some years use an _ABSTRACT suffix, some do not, and 2026 pages for ACMMM and ECCV drop the suffix entirely. That inconsistency matters if you are scripting against these URLs.
The README also lists sibling projects: AI_Journal_Portal, AI_arXiv_Portal, CS_arXiv_Paper and BestPaperAwards_AI, plus a separate search portal at http://47.102.131.153/ described as an "ArXiv or Top Conference Paper Search Portal." So if the static pages are too coarse for you, the author points to a different tool for search.
Installing and Using CV_Paper_Portal
There is nothing to install. The README gives no installation steps, no package name, no build command. The project is consumed through a browser. If you want the repository locally, clone it, but expect to find only the README, index.md, _config.yml and a .github directory.
git clone https://github.com/hongsong-wang/CV_Paper_Portal.git
cd CV_Paper_Portal
lsYou should see README.md, index.md, _config.yml and .github/. The index.md and _config.yml are what GitHub Pages uses to render the landing page at https://hongsong-wang.github.io/CV_Paper_Portal/.
The first real use is simply opening that landing page and clicking a year. For example, to reach the CVPR 2026 abstract collection, the README links to https://hongsong-wang.github.io/CVPR2026/. To reach the ICCV 2025 collection, it links to https://hongsong-wang.github.io/ICCV2025_ABSTRACT/. Those two URLs illustrate the naming inconsistency mentioned above: one has no suffix, the other does.
If you want to check the repository's own configuration, the only file with content worth reading is _config.yml, which controls the GitHub Pages build. The README does not document its keys, so open it directly rather than assuming a schema.
Where the Portal Breaks Down
The clearest limitation is that the repository is a directory, not a dataset. You cannot query it. There is no API, no JSON export, no CLI. If you want to know which 2023 papers mention a given term, you open the 2023 page and use the browser's find function, or you rely on whatever search the individual page provides. The top-level README does not describe the search behavior of those per-year pages.
Coverage is uneven by design. CVPR goes back to 2013 and ACM Multimedia to 2013, but ECCV stops at 2018 and SIGGRAPH starts at 2020. The README does not explain why, and there is no statement about how complete any given year is. A year page existing does not mean every accepted paper is listed.
The project also depends on arxiv.org for most abstracts, per the README. That means papers without an arXiv posting may be missing, and the abstract text you read is the arXiv version, which can differ from the camera-ready version in the proceedings. If you are citing a paper, go to the official proceedings link that the README itself points to (openaccess.thecvf.com for CVPR and ICCV, ecva.net for ECCV, openreview.net for ACM Multimedia).
How It Compares to the Official Proceedings Sites
The obvious alternative is the source the README already links to: openaccess.thecvf.com for CVPR and ICCV, ecva.net for ECCV, and the ACM Digital Library for SIGGRAPH. Those are the authoritative records. They carry the camera-ready PDF, the official abstract, and a stable citation.
The difference in approach is one of packaging, not of data. The official sites are organized by conference and provide their own search and filtering. CV_Paper_Portal takes the same abstracts, often via arXiv, and republishes them as lightweight GitHub Pages sites that are fast to load and grouped by year in one place. For a quick skim across several years of CVPR, the portal's single README is a faster starting point than navigating the official menu. For anything you will cite, the official site wins.
There is also the author's own search portal at http://47.102.131.153/, which the README presents as a separate, more search-oriented tool. If keyword search is your main need, that address is the one the project itself recommends over the static pages.
Maintenance, Licensing and Upgrade Cost
The last push to the repository was on 2026-09-15, and the README's News section records page creations on the same date for ACMMM 2026 and ECCV 2026. The repository is not archived. On that evidence the project is being updated, but the cadence is tied to conference cycles rather than to a release schedule, and no releases were retrieved.
Upgrade cost is close to zero for a consumer, because there is no installed artifact. You bookmark the landing page and revisit it. The cost sits with the maintainer: each new conference year means a new GitHub Pages site, and the naming drift between years suggests the process is manual.
The repository does not state a license. The README asks readers to star the repositories if they help, but that is not a license grant. If you intend to redistribute the abstract collections or reuse the page templates, treat the licensing status as unresolved and check the repository directly, since the README is silent on it. This is a description of what the repository states, not legal advice.
Editorial conclusion
Adopt CV_Paper_Portal if you want a free, no-login index of abstracts for CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACM Multimedia, SIGGRAPH and ACL, and if you are willing to open each year as its own page. Skip it if you need full-text search, citation export, or a stable API. Before relying on it, open the specific year you care about and check whether the abstract list is complete for that venue, because the top-level repository only links outward and does not describe coverage per year.
Frequently asked questions
What does CV mean online?
The README uses CV for computer vision, the field its conference pages cover, and the repository name CV_Paper_Portal follows that usage. It also maintains a separate AI_Journal_Portal and AI_arXiv_Portal for adjacent areas.
Where can I find my CV?
This project is not a personal CV service. It is a portal of conference paper abstracts, and the README links to per-year pages such as https://hongsong-wang.github.io/CVPR2026/ rather than to any individual profile.
How do I list a paper on a CV?
The README does not cover CV writing. What it does provide is the abstract collection and, for each venue, a link to the official proceedings site, which is where you would confirm the exact title and venue for a citation.
What is the 7 second rule for CV?
That phrase does not appear in the README, which is about conference paper abstracts. The repository's only stated rule of thumb is its goal of helping readers locate papers by keyword.
