Journal Presentation

Goal: Each week, a journal paper is presented. The student presenting the paper will talk about the paper, covering the following items:

• Article Title, Author list, Journal name
• Start with a short summary of the article.
• Give a motivation for the article. Why are these authors working on the particular problem?
• Problem Statement. What exactly are the authors working on? What is the scope of the their project?
• Previous work. You'll have to look into the work done by other authors in the field to determine what is the state of the art, and how the current article relates to the state of the art.
• Describe the methods in detail. What is used and why? What were the other choices possible? Are there items that can be critiqued in the methods? Are there caveats to look out for?
• Describe the experiements. What is the goal of the experiments? What is the experimental design? Is it good/bad?
• Results and Discussion. Are the results good/bad? How are they interpreted? Do you agree?

The goal is to discuss the paper amongst ourselves, so it is important to invite discussion throughout the presentation.

There may be an expert associated with most of the topics covered in the course. Each expert can act as a resource for preparation of the presentation (to suggest related material) and will be present during the class discussion.

Grading: The presentation will be based on clarity, organization and ability to solicit participation from the other members of the group.
