CV — Mengye Ren

LaTeX CV with publications and talks managed via YAML files.

Quick start

make cv      # build full CV (auto-generates from YAML first)
make short   # build short CV
make all     # build both

Requires: Python 3 with pyyaml, LaTeX with latexmk.

Adding a paper

1. Edit publications.yaml — copy an existing entry and insert by arxiv date (newest first)
2. Run make cv to verify the PDF
3. Commit and push — the website auto-rebuilds and deploys

Adding a talk

1. Edit talks.yaml — copy an existing entry and insert by date (newest first)
2. Run make cv to verify the PDF
3. Commit and push — the website auto-rebuilds and deploys

Entry format

    video: "https://youtu.be/..."
  selected: false                   # true to include in short CV selected talks
  on_website: true                  # true to show on mengyeren.com
  on_cv: true                      # set false for website-only entries (e.g., consolidated job talk)

How it works

• publications.yaml — all publications, sorted by arxiv date descending
• talks.yaml — all talks, sorted by date descending
• scripts/generate_pubs.py — reads both YAML files, generates LaTeX for pubs, talks, and selected versions
• Numbering is reverse chronological: C1 = oldest, CN = newest (etaremune)
• Pushing YAML changes auto-triggers the website rebuild via GitHub Actions
