Hi, mourner. I notice that many core vital algorithms are implemented by referencing academic papers. As reading academic papers are boring and tedious, how do you find one algorithm in papers that works?

It can be tedious indeed, and most papers are beyond my comprehension. So with practice, I learned to skim papers very quickly — e.g. go through abstract, conclusion, then scan the pictures, look for algorithm pseudocode etc. Now I can determine if a paper is worth reading into in more detail after a quick skim.
