Besides website titles and URLs, we provide a list of configurations for customizing your website in the _data folder. This includes:

   description: >
       The portfolio website for you.
   baseurl: "" 
   url: "" 

2. Configure texts on the index page _data/meta.yml:

   index:
       welcome_message:
       personal_photo:
       news_highlight_color:
       personal_description:

3. And update the news using _data/news.csv file.

4. Add your social media accounts by editing social in _data*/settings.yml:

5. Change tabs on your website _data/settings.yml:

   menu:
       - {name: 'About', file: ''}
       - {name: 'Research', file: 'research.html'}
       - {name: 'Blog', file: 'blog.html'}

6. Customize the publication page (see in the next section):

Believing your publication page is not simply a repetition of your google scholar page, we design the publication page that helps you organize your work and present them to the audience in a clean and intuitive fashion.

The publication page is rendered based on the _data/settings.csv table. Explanation for the features in the table:

• type: The type of the publication, e.g., workshop paper, conference paper, journal paper. Defined in the _data/meta.yml file.
• topic: The shorthand for the topic of the publication. Topics are defined in the _data/settings.yml file.
• name: A shorthand name for the paper.
• author: Authors of the paper. You could use markdown grammar like ** to bold your names.
• title: The title of the paper.
• venue, publisher: The venue of a conference paper, or the publisher of a journal paper.
• paper, website, arxiv, poster, video: The links to the paper's pdf, project website, arxiv page, poster, or video.
• img: An overview image for the paper. You could use the /assets/publications/placeholder.png if you don't have the images.

We provide a tab in the research page, which helps you group your publications by specific categories. By doing so, you need to:

1. Set the categories' display names name and shorthand names id in the _data/settings.yml file. For example:

   publication: 
       topics:
       - {name: 'All',            id: 'all',  description: ''} # it will automatically handle the `all` category
       - {name: 'Deep Learning',  id: 'dl',   description: ''}
       - {name: 'GAN',            id: 'gan',  description: ''}
       - {name: 'Other',          id: 'misc', description: ''}

2. For each paper, set their category in the topic feature using the corresponding id for the category.

You can also consider group papers based on their types.
