   * **big inventions with names:** People who invented them should get credit. The first time you mention anything with a name, you should consider adding a reference. E.g., HMM, NNs, RNNs, LSTM, word embeddings (word2vec, FastText), contextualized word embeddings (BERT, ...), etc.   * **big inventions with names:** People who invented them should get credit.

It is not necessary to reference Python, but one should reference specialized software (like TensorFlow) and especially the source code you modified. Most source code authors give exact instructions in README about how they wish to be referenced. Usually, by citing a publication.   * **source code**: Give credit to those who implemented source code you use or build on.
