You have to write a critical review of
the paper you presented + a set of at least five additional papers related to
the paper you have presented in class. A book chapter on a topic not discussed
in class, or only mentioned briefly is worth a paper.
The reports should be 8-10 pages in this
format
Possible relevant
papers:
- References
of the paper you presented (i.e., papers cited by your paper)
- Papers
that cite the paper you presented (these papers were published after
your paper!)
Possible
relevant book Chapters: a book chapter describing in detail a technique
used in your paper. This can be a reasoning technique, a learning technique,
or an evaluation technique.
By the end of the
day of your presentation, you have to
submit (by email) the list of the
papers you are going to critically summarize in your essay. For
each paper, briefly explain why it was selected. I'll give you feedback on
the list.
If you are
working in pairs increase everything by 50% (number of papers and length
of the essay)
READ CAREFULLY
Both
content and presentation quality will be assessed with the following weights
- content 65%
- presentation 35%
SOME GUIDELINES ON WRITING YOUR
SURVEY-REVIEW PAPER (order can vary)
- Motivate why this is an interesting topic
- Motivate the problem the papers are trying to solve
- Provide background for the AI techniques used in the paper, especially if
we did not cover those in the course.
- Describe how the AI techniques usedin the paper are related to the one we
saw in the lectures
- Provide a critical assessment of the papers
e.g., Strengths and weaknesses of the proposed approaches and evaluation
methods
- Critically discuss the results of each paper and how one paper may be
building on another one
- I encourage you to use diagrams to improve your explanations
- Discuss what is in your opinion potential promising future work
-As for any good paper. you need an abstract, an intro, ...., conclusions,
future work and references
(not just the papers you are reviewing)
- give credit if you include a figure/text from another paper
OTHER SUGGESTIONS
- It is very common to have to read a paper several times before you fully
understand the content.
Allocate
sufficient time for carefully reading the papers not just for the writing of
your survey.
