[D] how do you remember methods in papers you read? (alien.top)

A few months ago I came across maximum mean discrepancy as a measure of distribution difference, and today I read this term and totally forgot what is means and had to find a youtube video to refresh my understanding. This happens a lot of times in my research. I feel like unless something is really basic (e.g. CNN, cross entropy, etc) and used a lot in my day-to-day model building, I easily forgot what I have read. I wonder is it just because I have a bad memory or I do not have a good way to organize information?

In my experience I think it suffices to have a mental index of the high level intuitions of stuff as well as how they relate to each other (unless you’re interested in making innovations in some particular technique in which case you obviously have to remember every details…)
