Overview

In this seminar, we review and discuss a collection of research papers from major conferences. In each session, one student presents one (or two) paper(s) and leads the discussion. The student who presents a paper should submit a good summary of the paper to our paper review archive. All other students should read the paper prior to class, submit a review of the paper by email before class and actively contribute in class discsusion. Grading will be P/NP.
