Must-read papers on commonsense knowledge and others resources and tutorials

Better viewed on website:

https://adapt-sjtu.github.io/commonsense-papers/

We aim to select the most representative and innovative papers in the research field of commonsense knowledge, and provide taxonomy/classification as well as statistics of these papers to give a quick overview of the field and help focused reading.

We've also added (influential) citation numbers according to Semantic Scholar, AltMetric Badge (paper influence in social media) and Dimensions Badge (paper citations) for papers that can be linked to an arxiv id/DOI. Highly influential papers should now be easier to identify, though we still encourage readers to read other papers that might have been overlooked. Due to rendering limitation, the badges are only visible on our website.
