Papers with Annotations (PwA): A Guide to Simplifying AI Research

Aug 8, 2021 | Data Science

Welcome to the world of Papers with Annotations (PwA), a unique project aimed at making AI-related research papers more accessible through the use of illustrations, annotations, and simplified explanations for technical jargon. Let’s unravel how you can benefit from this innovative approach and how to get involved with this collaborative effort.

Why Use Papers with Annotations?

Papers with Annotations is designed to transform dense scholarly articles into intuitive formats. Imagine reading a complex scientific paper as if you were learning a new recipe in a cooking class, where each step is carefully illustrated with images and tips. This format enhances understanding and retention, making it easier for researchers, students, and enthusiasts to grasp the core concepts of various studies.

Getting Started with PwA

To access these annotated papers, simply navigate through the various categories available:

Each category houses a collection of annotated papers that can greatly enhance your understanding of various AI topics.

How Are the Annotations Generated?

The process of creating these annotations is akin to crafting a fine piece of art. Here’s how it works:

  • Software: The Notability App is used to import PDFs, allowing for handwritten notes, figure importing, and stickers, making annotations visually appealing.
  • Hardware: The work is predominantly performed on an iPad (6th generation) with the Apple Pencil (1st generation), but any compatible iPad or Android tablet will do!

This tech synergy enables creators to enhance each paper with vivid annotations that aid comprehension significantly.

Contributing to PwA

If you have access to relevant AI, ML, DL, neuroscience, or cognitive sciences papers, feel free to contribute to this project. By opening a new pull request (PR), you can add your annotated research papers to the growing library. Feedback is also welcomed; simply open an issue in the repository for discussions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while navigating the repositories or while using the annotations, here are a few tips:

  • Ensure that your device is compatible with the Notability App for optimal annotation experience.
  • If a link doesn’t work, try refreshing your page or check the repository updates.
  • For specific issues or feedback, reach out on the relevant issue sections of the repositories.
