Download the reading list

Start with papers.json. It contains papers, precursors (the background papers), and metadata. The agent guide links to every file.

Paper details

id is a stable identifier. author_names preserves author order. paper_url links to the source; record_url links to an individual page with its own JSON, Markdown, BibTeX and CSL-JSON downloads. legacy_record_url preserves the earlier full-list anchor.

Published versions

Optional publication metadata gives a separately verified conference or journal version, with its own title, authors, year and citation links. Missing metadata means we have not verified that version, not that it does not exist.

Demos

Optional demos link to interactive examples and model details. relationship distinguishes an implementation from a related_method example; paper_relationships names the associated papers. A related-method demo is not an implementation of the current paper. Demo outputs are not benchmark evidence, and demos do not replace paper citations.

Dates

first_public is the earliest dated public version we found, usually the first arXiv submission. citation_date is the initial arXiv submission date used in citation exports. Earlier conference presentations have a separate source note.

Following additions

added_at is when a paper joined this list, not when it was published. It is tracked for additions after the initial collection; initial records have no added_at. Filter this field to find new entries, including older papers we previously missed. Release history also lists added_papers by stable ID.

Keeping a local copy current

Release history can identify updated_papers with changed fields and removed_papers by ID. The current JSON file is the authority for which entries are on the list.

Categories and summaries

lens lists approaches. Other fields describe training, computation, research questions, evidence, and modality. A paper can have several labels. Summaries and labels are written for this list; they are not the authors' abstracts.

Sources

provenance records where we found the paper. Use paper_url to check the paper itself.
