AI Paper Intake

AI 논문을 읽을 때는 모델 이름보다 claim의 위치를 먼저 고정합니다. 같은 Transformer 논문이라도 architecture 논문, learning objective 논문, generative model 논문, evaluation 논문은 서로 다른 축으로 읽어야 합니다.

Intake Fields

FieldQuestionRoute
Input and outputWhat object enters the model, and what object is predicted?Modalities, Tasks
Claim patternIs the strongest claim architecture, learning method, generation, evaluation, scaling, systems, or agent workflow?AI paper claim patterns
Prediction typeIs it classification, regression, ranking, retrieval, generation, or action selection?Machine Learning
ArchitectureWhat inductive bias, parameter sharing, and complexity does the model use?Architectures
Learning signalIs the signal label, mask, contrast, denoising target, preference, reward, or synthetic target?Learning Methods
Distribution modelDoes the method model , , a score, or a vector field?Generative Models, Math
Energy or constraintDoes the method use an energy, force, constraint, projection, repair, or filter?Energy-based model, Constrained optimization
EvidenceWhich metric, split, baseline, ablation, and uncertainty support the claim?Evaluation
Benchmark claimWhat data, task, split, metric, allowed information, and reporting rule define the score?Benchmark intake
System boundaryDoes the contribution depend on data scale, compute, serving, tools, or reproducibility?Systems, Infra, Agents
Scaling claimWhat quality, data, model size, compute, and runtime variables changed?Scaling claim contract

Formula Checks

When a paper introduces an objective, rewrite it into these parts:

  • Distribution: what does the expectation sample from?
  • Target: what is observed, masked, generated, preferred, or rewarded?
  • Constraint: what is hard, penalized, projected, repaired, or filtered?
  • Parameter: which module is optimized?
  • Decision: how does the trained score or probability become an output?
  • Evaluation: is the final metric the same object as the training loss?

Update Targets

After reading, update the smallest durable note that captures the reusable idea.
