Paper Presentations

Sept 19–Oct 15, 2007

In 5-10 minutes give an overview of your chosen research paper. Make sure to clearly state the paper's significance and support it with a high-level description of the approach taken and results achieved. In other words, tell us briefly what the goal of the paper was, how they attempted to achieve the goal and how successful they were. Be prepared to answer questions.

Some good sources for potential papers include (but are not limited to):

  • Proceedings of Neural Information Processing Systems
  • Proceedings of the International Conference on Machine Learning
  • Neural Networks
  • IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks
  • Neural Computation
  • Machine Learning
  • Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research
  • Journal of Machine Learning Research
