    > Note that this skews the distribution heavily in favor of topics that are less common, but it should get the job done. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

    You could use the max number of paper in each topic to weight it and make the distribution uniform.

    One can also grab a random arXiv paper in HTML (via ar5iv), if that was desired.

    Just visit:
