Neural ODEs & Continuous-Time Models Reading List

Curated by Mouhssine Rifaki | Stanford Electrical Engineering | Last updated August 2026

Neural ODEs rethink depth as time, turning a ResNet into an ODE solved by adaptive integrators. The selection below covers the original formulation, its stable, second-order and jump extensions, and neighboring continuous-time models such as controlled differential equations and ODE processes.
