CMPT888: 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 these parts:
- One short paragraph describing what the paper is about (what
problem, what general approach, which specific methods used or
developed)
- A bit of critical discussion on what you like / don't like /
would improve on (discussion points for class)
- Questions you have about the paper (what do you not understand and would like explained in class)
Completed paper summaries should be emailed to the instructor. Please
include "CMPT888 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.
