I think of myself as an AI/deep learning practitioner, definitely not a researcher. I am always on the lookout for papers that might help with something I need for work. I do a quick skim of papers and when I identify one or two that might be very useful, then I read them slowly and repeatedly. For me, the trick is finding material that is worth a lot of study time.
