CMPT882: Reading Assignments
Reading assignments are due before the start of lecture. Compose
a brief summary of each assigned paper. Each summary should be
similar to a mini paper review, and consist of two parts:
- Approximately one paragraph describing what the paper is about,
including the contribution made
- A bit of critical discussion on what you like / don't like / would
improve on, and questions you have about the paper
Completed paper summaries should be emailed to the instructor. Please
include "CMPT882 readings" in the subject line of the email.
A good read on how to be a useful reviewer for conference/journal
papers is "The Task of the
Referee" by Alan Jay Smith. For those who have never reviewed
papers before (and even those who have), I recommend taking a look
through it.
