Informal notes about some papers I've read for my future self who is likely to forget. I explain the papers the way I understand them, using terminology and logic natural to me. This means I may deviate from the original paper structure, notation, etc. At places, my interpretation may be incorrect due to lack of understanding. I will strive for this not to happen too often but I’m certainly not infallible. This is a working document, not polished, with possible typos, editing errors, etc.
The notes are organised by topic. Each folder has the full tex version as well as a pdf for direct viewing.
While this is a public repository, users are adviced to judge for themselves to what extent they want to trust the info I give.
My notes, even less formal than those here, on somewhat more random choice of papers can be found in my Dropbox paper here. On VAEs for compression check here.
