Paper Presentation
You will be required to present a few of the papers that are being discussed during the course. Presentations should clearly address the paper's motivation, the research contribution - specifically addressing the strengths and weaknesses, and the results.

Depending on the depth and difficulty of the paper, make your presentation about 20-30 minutes long. We encourage you to take a more investigate approach - what makes this paper interesting? How could you do better? Think about the pros and cons from different angle - usability, computational efficiency, complexity, accuracy, and richness of the system or algorithm. The presentations should be done using powerpoint or some other presentation software of your choice - we will request you to give us either a .ppt or .pdf version of your slides.

Project Plan
Each group is required to submit a 1-2 page plan for the final project. The plan should specify : (i) the approach you plan to take (iii) the evaluation strategies you will use and (iii) a proposed timeline.
