Replaced the existing CITATION.bib file with a CITATION.cff file to leverage GitHub's native citation support. The CITATION.cff file provides both human- and machine-readable citation metadata, allowing users to easily cite the repository in formats like APA and BibTeX directly from GitHub's "Cite this repository" feature.

The new CITATION.cff includes:

  • Author details
  • Title, DOI, and URL
  • Book title and conference details
  • Keywords and abstract

This change aligns with modern citation practices for software and academic works on GitHub. See:

Hmmm I get this weird warning I can't seem to get rid of, while the CFF seems to be formatted correctly.

The issue might be that it isn't present on the main branch, but not sure.

Thanks! There's a link to the removed .bib file in README. Shall we change it to point to the "Cite this repository" feature instead?
