We will read about 3-4 papers per week. You will have to write a short review for each paper (or answer a question) and submit it to the review-submission site before class.

For paper reviews, you must follow these guidelines: 1. summarize the paper briefly in your own words in 2-3 sentences. 2. provide a brief description of the problem the authors were trying to solve. 3. explain one or two key/interesting ideas of the paper 4. what are the positives of the paper? 5. what are some of the flaws of this paper? 6. What is one thing you found confusing or did not understand? For questions, just answer the question.
