Create a detailed single-paper summary note in Markdown (Obsidian-friendly). Use when asked for "paper review" meaning "논문 정리/요약", single-paper deep summary, or when the user wants method and results written with metric definitions (math + interpretation) and reusable figures/tables embedded from Attachments/.

Single Paper Review
Produce a single-paper note that is:
- Obsidian-friendly Markdown (YAML frontmatter + headings)
- Method/result focused (not reviewer-style acceptance/rejection)
- Metric-literate (each metric defined mathematically + interpreted)
- Reusable (key figures/tables embedded as Attachments so they can be referenced from other notes)
Use the bundled template
- Preferred template:
assets/review_template.md - If the vault already contains
Templates/Single Paper Review Template.md, it is OK to use that instead (keep the structure identical).
Workflow
Identify the target note path
- If the user provides a target
.mdfile, update that file. - Otherwise create a new note named after the paper title (short, descriptive, ASCII).
- If the user provides a target
Fill frontmatter minimally but correctly
author,venue,year,url(anddoi/arxiv/codeif available)- Keep
categories: [[Papers]]unless user requests otherwise.
Summarize the paper (single-paper "review" = 정리)
- TL;DR: 2-5 sentences focused on the mechanism and the headline result.
- Contributions: 3-5 bullet points, phrased as claims (what changed vs prior work).
- Problem setup: clearly state task, inputs/outputs, assumptions, and what breaks without the method.
Write the method with enough detail to re-implement
- Start with a high-level pipeline, then expand into key components.
- Include notation (shapes and symbols) where it reduces ambiguity.
- If the paper includes an algorithm box, rewrite it as concise pseudo-steps (do not copy verbatim).
Add a "Metrics (math + meaning)" section (mandatory)
For every metric used in Methods/Results:- Provide a mathematical definition in LaTeX (use
$$ ... $$). - When using LaTeX, just use single
\, instead of double\\. - When writing text, if you want to write
<or>, prepend\before the characters. (i.e.,\<BOS\>) - Specify how the paper computes it (averaging, thresholds, matching rules, postprocessing).
- Interpret what it means:
- What higher/lower implies about behavior
- What it is sensitive to (imbalance, calibration, scale, label noise, etc.)
- Common failure modes / when the metric can mislead
- Provide a mathematical definition in LaTeX (use
Summarize experiments with "figure/table anchors"
- State each important claim in plain language.
- Support it by referencing the exact paper table/figure number and the reported numbers (absolute + delta).
- Prefer "what matters" over exhaustive enumeration.
Make results reusable (figures/tables)
- Create an attachment folder:
Attachments/<paper-slug>/ - For each key result figure/table:
- Save a cropped image (PNG preferred) into the attachment folder.
- Embed it in the note under "Figures and tables (reusable)" with:
- Source: Figure/Table number + page
- Why it matters: what conclusion it supports
- How to read: axes/legend/what to focus on
- Tables:
- If simple: transcribe to Markdown table for copy/paste reuse.
- If complex: embed the table image and optionally add a short "takeaway row" list below it.
- Create an attachment folder:
Constraints
- Do NOT add steps about generating PDFs of the note.
- Do NOT add steps about creating new schematic/diagram figures.
- Keep text ASCII (use " not curly quotes).
