Examples

This directory holds the structured database of paper examples cited throughout the guide.

Files

examples.yamlStructured database — one entry per cited paper, indexed by chapter. The single source of truth.
papers-to-read.bibBibTeX 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:

  1. One place to update if a paper's link changes or it gets a Best Paper Award we should note.
  2. Tools can render it — the Docusaurus site can generate example cards from this file; future translators can keep titles synced.
  3. 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:

  1. Add the entry to examples.yaml in the correct chapter section, alphabetized within the chapter.
  2. Verify the anthology_url resolves.
  3. Add the BibTeX to papers-to-read.bib if the paper belongs in Chapter 27.
  4. 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.
