SUGGESTED READINGS
Every year, I read approximately 700 papers.
(Not to mention articles on the internet and blogs...).
This is a sample of those that I think particularly interesting. It's more of a "memoranda" (things to remember) for myself, but if you find it useful, please use it!
The papers are listed in the order that I read (or re-read) them. The gem icon (đ) denotes exactly that!
