Getting Started

Using with the GitHub Pages Service

• Fork this repository and change the name to your-username.github.io.
• Enable the GitHub pages for that repository following the steps here.

Using Locally with Jekyll

First, install Ruby and Jekyll. The install instructions can be found here: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/#guides

Install and run:

bundle install
bundle add webrick
bundle exec jekyll server

View the live page using localhost: http://localhost:4000. You can get the HTML files in _site folder.

Using the HTML version

The compiled HTML files are available in the html_source_file folder. If you don't like Jekyll, you may directly edit and use the HTML version.

Customizing

Configuration variables

The Minimal Light theme will respect the following variables, if set in your site's _config.yml:

# Basic Information 
title: Your Name

# Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
# The following information is used to improve the website traffic from search engines, e.g., Google.

Edit index.md

Create index.md and add your personal information. It supports Markdown and HTML syntax.

Edit included files

There are two markdown files included in index.md. They are _includes/publications.md and _includes/service.md, respectively. These two files also support Markdown and HTML syntax. If you don't hope to include these two files, you may remove the following lines in index.md:

 {% include_relative _includes/publications.md %} 
  
 {% include_relative _includes/services.md %} 

If you hope to edit the publication list without changing the format, you may edit _data/publications.yml:

  - title: "Can Complex-Valued Representation Benefit Point Cloud Place Recognition?"
    authors: <strong>Ruonan Zhang</strong>, Ge Li*, Wei Gao, and Thomas H. Li
    conference_short: TITS
    conference: IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems (TITS), 2024
