Papers We Love (PWL) is a community built around reading, discussing and learning more about academic computer science papers. This repository serves as a directory of some of the best papers the community can find, bringing together documents scattered across the web. You can also visit thePapers We Love site for more info.

Due tolicenses we cannot always host the papers themselves (when we do, you will see a 📜 emoji next to its title in the directory README) but we can provide links to their locations.

If you enjoy the papers, perhaps stop by a local chapter meetup and join in on the vibrant discussions around them. You can also discussPWL events, the content in this repository, and/or anything related toPWL on ourSlack, aftersigning-up to join it, or on our#paperswelove IRC channel on freenode.
