"매 academic paper 의 mandatory section 의 prior literature 의 position 의 own contribution". ML/CS papers (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, CVPR) 의 standard structure 의 Introduction → Related Work → Method → Experiments → Conclusion. 매 reviewer 의 first read — 매 novelty claim 의 here 의 stand or fall.
매 핵심
매 Purpose
Position — 매 own work 의 landscape 의 place.
Differentiate — 매 prior 의 limitation 의 explicit, 매 own gap 의 fill.
Credit — 매 intellectual lineage 의 acknowledge.
Scope — 매 reviewer 의 not-cited prior work 의 reject 의 prevent.
매 Structure (typical)
Thematic grouping (preferred 2026) — 매 theme 의 paragraph 의 each.
Chronological — only for survey papers.
Per-paper — verbose, avoid.
매 Typical Categories (ML paper)
Foundation / closest direct prior.
Methodology family (e.g., diffusion vs flow-matching).
Application domain.
Concurrent work (last 6 months).
매 응용
Conference paper — 매 0.5-1 page Related Work section.
Thesis — 매 standalone chapter (10-30 pages).
Grant proposal — 매 "Innovation" section 의 backbone.
Patent — 매 "Background of the Invention".

\section{Related Work}\paragraph{Foundation models for X.}\citet{vaswani2017} introduced the Transformer, which subsequent work
\citep{devlin2019,brown2020,touvron2023llama} scaled to billions of parameters.
Unlike these, our method targets edge inference (\textsection\ref{sec:method}).
\paragraph{Efficient inference.}
Quantization \citep{dettmers2022int8,frantar2023gptq} and speculative decoding
\citep{leviathan2023speculative,chen2023accelerating} reduce latency, but
neither addresses our setting of dynamic batch size.
\paragraph{Concurrent work.}\citet{smith2026concurrent} appeared on arXiv in March 2026; we differ in
that we additionally support streaming output.
