Elicit Machine Learning Reading List Purpose The purpose of this curriculum is to help new Elicit employees learn background in machine learning, with a focus on language models. I’ve tried to strike a balance between papers that are relevant for deploying ML in production and techniques that matter for longer-term scalability. If you don’t work at Elicit yet - we’re hiring ML and software engineers. How to read Recommended reading order: 1. Etc ✨ = Added after 2025/11
