A curated reading list of papers and resources in survival analysis, with an emphasis on machine learning, deep learning, calibration, evaluation, and applied time-to-event modeling.
Some papers may belong to multiple categories. I have organized each entry by what I view as its most significant contribution.
Since June 2026, I have also used LLM agents as research assistants to help discover, triage, and maintain survival-analysis papers while keeping the final curation human-reviewed.
Suggestions are welcome—please open an issue or pull request if you would like to add a paper or resource.
