        # Awesome Best Papers

本项目收集了各大顶会的最佳论文（*自 2013 年起*），包括*论文名、论文链接、作者名以及机构名*（多个机构并列时记录第一个）。所有的数据都是手工输入的，所以 *如果你发现有任何错误，欢迎开个 issue 提醒我*。你也可以通过 *创建 pull requests* 的方式参与到这个项目中来，加入机器人、优化、图形学等本项目未包含领域的顶会最佳论文信息（**非常欢迎**）。项目中的部分数据参考了 Jeff Huang 的网站，他收集了自 1996 年起计算机科学领域部分顶会的最佳论文，如果你感兴趣，也可以访问[他的网站](https://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html)。

This repo collects best papers from various top conferences (*since 2013*), including *paper names and links, author names and organization names* (use the first one when the author works for multiple organizations). All the data are collected and entered by hand, so *feel free to open an issue if you find anything wrong*. You can also contribute to this repo by *creating pull requests* and add best papers from top conferences in research areas that are not covered in this repo, e.g., robotics, optimization, computer graphics and etc (**very welcome**). Part of the data is collected by Jeff Huang. If you are interested in more best papers in computer science (since 1996), you can visit [his website](https://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html).
