ShortScience.org is a platform for post-publication discussion aiming
to improve accessibility and reproducibility of research ideas.
The website has 1584 public summaries, mostly in machine learning,
written by the community and organized by paper, conference, and year.
Reading summaries of papers is useful to obtain the perspective and
insight of another reader, why they liked or disliked it, and their attempt to demystify complicated sections.
Also, writing summaries is a good exercise to understand the content of a
paper because you are forced to challenge your assumptions when
explaining it.
Finally, you can keep up to date with the flood of research by reading
the latest summaries on our Twitter and Facebook pages.
