CS838 Fall 2006: Schedule for reviews ===================================== You are required to write a SHORT paper review for four papers in this semester. The reviews will be due by the beginning of class, but you are more than welcome to submit the review ahead of time. Even a week or two ahead of time would be okay. No emails please. A print out version is the only way to submit the review. Summary of instructions: ------------------------ - The papers to be reviewed will be announced in the mailing list and on the class webpage. - You are free to discuss the paper with your classmates. - Each person should write an independent review. - The review, however, should completely be in your own words (make sure you do not copy text from the paper itself). In the review you should answer the following questions: -------------------------------------------------------- 1. Provide a short summary of this paper. Indicate what the key ideas of the work and main results. Please do not copy the abstract. 2. What are the main assumptions being made in the paper? Which assumptions, if false, will change the main results and findings? 3. What are the main deficiencies in this paper, i.e., what issues should the authors have addressed, but did not? 4. Suggest some ways to improve this work, e.g., that improves the performance of the proposed system, better ways to validate the system.
