Reply to comment by martinkunev in [R] ZerO Initialization: Initializing Neural Networks with only Zeros and Ones by hardmaru

Getting lots of citations a few month after your paper comes out only happens with papers written by famous researchers. Normal people need to work to get people to notice their research (which is they are sharing it here now).

And usually a paper starts getting citations after it’s already been presented at a conference where you can do the most easiest promotion of it.

While what you are saying here is true, it doesn't really apply in this case because Anima Anandkumar is a famous researcher.

Oh I didn’t know them. Still if it’s only been out a few months for it to be cited it would have needed to be noticed by someone who is writing their next research paper and have that paper already published.

Unless preprints on arxiv count. But even then it takes weeks if not months to do research and write a paper. So that leaves such a small window for possible citations at this point.
