📄 Paper Review Notes

This repository is dedicated to reviewing academic papers in machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision.
The goal is not just to summarize, but to critically analyze, reconstruct key ideas, and explore potential applications or implementations.

It was created as part of my effort to read academic papers regularly, and to systematically document my understanding, thoughts, and experiments based on them.
Many folders include not just summaries, but also comparative experiments or personal implementations inspired by the paper's content.

---

🎯 Objectives

• Build a structured habit of reading and understanding academic papers
• Translate complex ideas into my own words
• Re-implement key methods or concepts when possible
• Strengthen research mindset and prepare for graduate school
• Test and adapt paper methods to my own datasets and goals

---

🔍 Review Format

Each review typically includes:

• Background and motivation
• Problem definition and main contributions
• Explanation of key models or algorithms
• Analysis of experiments and results
• Limitations and possible future directions
• Optional: Personal implementations or variations

🧠 Focus Areas

• Machine Learning (e.g., ensemble methods, regularization, optimization)
• Deep Learning (e.g., CNNs, transformers, attention mechanisms)
• Computer Vision (e.g., pose estimation, action recognition)
• Applied AI (e.g., healthcare, recommendation systems)

🛠️ Future Plans

• 📌 Aim to review at least one paper per week
• 📌 Include code snippets or full re-implementations when possible
• 📌 Organize reviews by topic (e.g., CV, NLP, theory)
• 📌 Conduct small-scale experiments inspired by each paper
