Paper presentation
1.
What?
Arrange yourselves in groups of at most 3 students.
Each group should select one of the topics suggested below and study
the related
papers.
Prepare a summary of at most 2 pages and send me by email
(ines@dcc.fc.up.pt) with SUBJECT: "CG ASSIGNMENT 1". Your summary
should contain an appreciation of
the chosen topic papers regarding:
- main problem being solved
- bibliography (is it adequate and up-to-date?)
- organisation (is it well written, does it use proper figures
and graphics? Are the contents well explained?)
- relevance (is the subject relevant?)
- methodology and experiments (could you reproduce the
experiments? Are the results of good quality according to the
state-of-the-art in the area?)
Each group will have 10 minutes to present a summary of the
selected topic along with criticisms.
2. Why?
Develop competences on paper evaluation and develop critical thinking.
Get acquainted with recent works being developed in the area.
3. When?
March 22nd, during class.
