Which are the most memorable abstracts you have read? I know I am a jackass who usually vibecodes my way through assignments but even I don't want to write a cookie-cutter intro for my paper. I wanna write something that stays with the reader. What paper has stuck with you, what made it memorable?
I'm well into the thousands of research papers read. Understood a fair fraction of them. Couldn't tell you what the abstract was for any. The memorable parts are the ideas and the results within the paper.
Some titles stick. "Attention is all you need". "SSA is functional programming". Plus more people see the title than read the abstract. Only one I got to name myself was "Shared Memory Remote Procedure Calls" which I now realise is in exactly the same theme of given the title, you don't need the abstract or the contents.
Most memorable to me: https://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1966-72-06/S0002-9904-1966...
Short, succinct and no AI in sight.
Oooh, thanks!

"Abstract The Paxos algorithm, when presented in plain English, is very simple."
Appreciate it, thanks!

Gotta have a look at yours! And I remember the name "Attention is all you need" too!
