Discussion Sections

Instructions

During each section, we will be discussing published papers related to the topics covered in class. We will consider both survey and research papers, which will be posted on the class website one week in advance. One or two students are required to prepare and give a 25-minute presentation to the class. All other students are required to submit a review of the papers by email to Pierluigi. Paper reviews are due by 11.59pm, the day before the section (i.e., generally, on Mondays).

Try to be concise and to the point. Your review should consist of a few paragraphs of paper summary (no more than one page overall), covering your assessment of:

• Problem definition
• Proposed (surveyed) approaches
• Strengths, novel ideas
• Weaknesses, possible limitations
• How the presented work could be improved or extended
