How to read a paper

Don't read the paper from first word until the last word.
That is suck if you do though.

There is a guideline from Standford CS230:Deep learning|Autumn 2018|Lecture 8-Career Advice / Reading Research Paper of how to read paper

Reading in four steps:

  1. Title/abstract/figures
  2. Introduction/Conclusion + figures (skim related work)
  3. Read but skip the math
  4. Read the whole thing but skip parts that don't make sense

When you read a paper in a few minutes, you should ask that

  • What do the authors try to accomplish?
  • What were the key elements of the approach?
  • What can you use yourself?
  • What other reference do you want to follow?

Where do you go

  • Twitter
  • ML Subreddit
  • NIPS/ICML/ICLR
  • FRIENDS

Go DEEPER

  • Math
    • Read through it take detailed notes and then see if you can re-derive it from scratch.
  • Program
    • Run the source code
    • Reimplement it from scratch

General advice

Steadily reading not short bursts
