The AI Monthly Top 3 — July 2021

Here are the 3 most interesting research papers of the month, in case you missed any of them. It is a curated list of the latest breakthroughs in AI and Data Science by release date with a clear video explanation, link to a more in-depth article, and code (if applicable). Enjoy the read, and let me know if I missed any important papers in the comments, or by contacting me directly on LinkedIn!

If you’d like to read more research papers as well, I recommend you read my article where I share my best tips for finding and reading more research papers.
