Deep Learning Papers Reading Roadmap is a widely known curated reading plan for deep learning that helps newcomers and practitioners navigate the vast literature in a structured and intentional way. It is built around several guiding principles: moving from outline to detail, from older foundational papers to state-of-the-art work, and from generic to more specialized areas while keeping a focus on impactful contributions. The roadmap organizes papers into categories such as fundamentals, convolutional networks, sequence models, unsupervised learning, generative models, optimization, and application areas like computer vision or NLP. For each section, it suggests an order that lets readers gradually build intuition and then dive deeper into more advanced or recent topics. It is particularly useful for students and engineers who want to systematically improve their understanding rather than randomly picking papers.
