We're looking for pull requests related to papers we should add, better organization of the papers we do have, and/or links to other paper-repos we should point to.

Please check out our wiki-page for links to blogs, books, exchanges that are worth a good read.

How To Read a Paper

Reading a paper is not the same as reading a blogpost or a novel. Here are a few handy resources to help you get started.

Contributing Guidelines

We have a few guidelines in place to keep the repo clean and easy to navigate. We recommend that you follow these conventions in your pull-request for a speedy merge. Note that every pull request we receive must have Two-Thumbs-Up minimum from PWL organizers/collaborators to be merged.

Follow the group's ethos

We want to help bring academic research closer to practitioners. Books, blogposts, and/or reference pdfs don't go through the same review process that academic papers do and we won't add them to this repo.

Respect content licenses

We will only merge pull requests that contain research papers that allow digital distribution. Papers whose copyright prohibits redistribution will not be accepted; for example license 1 from the ACM digital library.

Follow our naming convention

  • Directory names are undercased and separated by underscores (example: artificial_intelligence)
  • Paper names are undercased and separated by dashes (example: out-of-the-tar-pit.pdf). Use the full title when possible.
