## Contributing Guidelines
We have a few guidelines in place to keep the repo clean and easy to navigate. We recommend that you follow these conventions in your pull-request for a speedy merge.
* Directory names are undercased and separated by underscores (example: `artificial_intelligence` )
* Paper names are undercased and separated by dashes (example: `out-of-the-tar-pit.pdf` ). Use the full title when possible.
