Wrong paper links in the README for COSMOS and GeometricMean #808

Description

@ValerianRey

In the "Supported Scalarizers" table of the README (also shown on PyPI), two publication links point to unrelated astrophysics papers:

Scalarizer Current link Points to Correct link
COSMOS arXiv 2303.04536 FUors, EXors and the role of intermediate objects arXiv 2103.13392: Scalable Pareto Front Approximation for Deep Multi-Objective Learning, already cited by the COSMOS docstring
GeometricMean arXiv 1902.08325 The Spiral Structure of the Milky Way Galaxy from Radio Observations arXiv 1904.08492: MultiNet++: Multi-Stream Feature Aggregation and Geometric Loss Strategy for Multi-Task Learning

The COSMOS row also uses a title that doesn't match the paper (COSMOS: Enhancing Multi-Objective Optimization with Scalarization); it should use the title of the cited paper.

Relevant lines:

TorchJD/README.md

Lines 159 to 165 in 9ba45e3

| [COSMOS](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/cosmos/) | [COSMOS: Enhancing Multi-Objective Optimization with Scalarization](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.04536) |
| [DWA](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/dwa/) | [End-to-End Multi-Task Learning with Attention](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.10704) |
| [FAMO](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/famo/) | [FAMO: Fast Adaptive Multitask Optimization](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.03792) |
| [GeometricMean](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/geometric_mean/) | [MultiNet++: Multi-Stream Feature Aggregation and Geometric Loss Strategy for Multi-Task Learning](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1902.08325) |
| [IMTL-L](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/imtl_l/) | [Towards Impartial Multi-task Learning](https://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/id/eprint/10120667/) |
| [Mean](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/mean/) | - |
| [PBI](https://torchjd.org/stable/docs/scalarization/pbi/) | [A Decomposition-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Many Objective Optimization](https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7445185) |

PBI (to double-check): the README cites IEEE 7445185 (A Decomposition-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Many Objective Optimization), while the PBI docstring cites MOEA/D (IEEE 4358754), where PBI was introduced. The README should probably cite the same paper as the docstring.

Checklist

  • Fix the COSMOS and GeometricMean rows of the README (link and title).
  • Align the PBI row with the PBI docstring.

    Hi, I’d like to work on this. I’ll submit a focused README fix shortly.
