metrofun/machine-learning-surveys
A Curated Escape from Google Scholar Rabbit Holes
It catalogs hundreds of machine learning surveys, tutorials, and books across two dozen subfields so you can find the right literature review without endless searching.

star history
What it does This repository is a curated bibliography of machine learning surveys, overviews, and textbooks. It links to Google Scholar entries across more than twenty subdisciplines—ranging from Active Learning to Robotics—listing authors, publication years, and page counts for each entry.
The interesting bit The README is auto-generated, implying some tooling keeps the formatting tidy, yet curation remains manual via a wiki-based contribution workflow. Star (⭐) and book (📚) icons provide at-a-glance signals for standout papers and full textbooks, which is more UI care than most awesome-lists bother with.
Key highlights
- Covers 20+ ML subdisciplines, including niche areas like Submodular Functions and Multi-Armed Bandits
- Entries include metadata: authors, year, page count, and direct Google Scholar links
- Visual markers distinguish highly recommended papers (⭐) from textbooks (📚)
- Community contributions accepted through a structured wiki process
- Maintained by a single curator active on Twitter as @ML_Review
Caveats
- Contains no summaries, abstracts, or commentary; you still have to read the actual papers
- Exact duplicate entries occasionally appear across categories (e.g., the deep learning biology survey appears in both Bioinformatics and Deep Learning)
- Auto-generation frequency and last-updated date are not stated, so freshness is unclear
Verdict Useful if you are a researcher or student diving into a new ML area and need a vetted starting point. Not useful if you want code, paper summaries, or a searchable index.
