Requirements & limits
The collection is published as a public GitHub repository. Repository metadata specifies an MIT license.
- The collection is specifically focused on research from 2021, rather than a continuously current paper index.
- Video explanations, longer articles and code are linked where available; the README qualifies code as applicable.
- The resource is a curated index and reference collection, not a model or API.
- A separate linked repository focuses on computer-vision publications from 2021.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
