Examples
This directory holds the structured database of paper examples cited throughout the guide.
Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
examples.yaml | Structured database — one entry per cited paper, indexed by chapter. The single source of truth. |
papers-to-read.bib | BibTeX file of every paper cited in Chapter 27. Drop into Overleaf. |
Why YAML?
The per-chapter markdown files reference examples as prose, but the same paper is often cited in two or three chapters. Keeping the canonical entry in examples.yaml means:
- One place to update if a paper's link changes or it gets a Best Paper Award we should note.
- Tools can render it — the Docusaurus site can generate example cards from this file; future translators can keep titles synced.
- Contributions are simpler — adding a paper is editing one YAML block, not finding the right paragraph in prose.
How to add a paper
Read CONTRIBUTING.md first. Summary:
- Add the entry to
examples.yamlin the correct chapter section, alphabetized within the chapter. - Verify the anthology_url resolves.
- Add the BibTeX to
papers-to-read.bibif the paper belongs in Chapter 27. - Reference the example in the relevant chapter markdown file. Cap is five examples per section — if you add one, propose which one to swap out.
