Deep Learning papers reading roadmap for anyone who are eager to learn this amazing tech!

Deep Learning Papers Reading Roadmap

If you are a newcomer to the Deep Learning area, the first question you may have is "Which paper should I start reading from?"

Here is a reading roadmap of Deep Learning papers!

The roadmap is constructed in accordance with the following four guidelines:

From outline to detail
From old to state-of-the-art
from generic to specific areas
focus on state-of-the-art

You will find many papers that are quite new but really worth reading.

I would continue adding papers to this roadmap.

The following papers will take you in-depth understanding of the Deep Learning method, Deep Learning in different areas of application and the frontiers. I suggest that you can choose the following papers based on your interests and research direction.
