Some YouTube channels that review papers
When I was reading a Reddit thread. People were wondering if there were YouTubers reviewing papers. As the OP noticed that one of the YouTuber’s that he regularly watched stopped uploading videos. There are a few YouTubers that talk about ML and review papers.
I decided to compile some of the YouTube channels into this short list.
Two Minute Papers does great overviews of fascinating papers. Showing the increasing progress of ML.
Some of the videos I liked:
- 4 Experiments Where the AI Outsmarted Its Creators
This video showed various AI solving a problem not in the way the researchers intended to. That may include abusing the physics in the simulation or lateral thinking used by the model.
- A Video Game That Looks Like Reality!

Yannic Kilcher does in-depth reviews of various papers. As you go through the paper he shows you his thought process. And showing what important inside the paper. Very useful if don’t read that many papers. (Like me)
Some good videos:

A great rundown on protein folding and speculating how Alphafold 2 works.

This is a podcast series that interviews top ML researchers. While they don’t have videos about papers alone. As they interview various experts in the field. So they talk about many papers as a consequence.
While this is a short list maybe you can find these channels interesting and learn something new.
