  • List of Project ideaspdf (require login with andrewid)
  • Talk with the course staff if you'd like to propose your own project idea.
  • Literature Survey due: 9/23/2014
  • Project Proposal due: 10/3/2014

Literature Survey Presentation Guidelines

Step 1: Decide your project direction based on your interest.
Step 2: Pick 3 research papers broadly related to your project.
Step 3: Prepare a 30-min presentation on the 3 selected papers - 30 talk, 30 minute Q&A
Step 4: Deliver the presentation in class, Sept. 23-25.

The Goal

  • Understand the solution space and tradeoffs
  • Analyze and synthesize three papers
  • Explain how they relate to your project, how they can enhance it, or why your potential solution will be better
  • Read the papers very carefully
  • Attention to detail is important

Talk Content

  • The problem: What is the general problem targeted by the papers and what are the specific problems?
  • The solutions: What are the key ideas and solution approaches of the proposed papers?
  • Key results and insights: What are the key results, insights, and conclusions of the papers?
  • Tradeoffs and analyses: How do the solutions differ or interact with each other? Can they be combined? What are the tradeoffs between them? This is where you will need to analyze the approaches and find a way to synthesize a common framework to describe and qualitatively compare & contrast the approaches.
  • Comparison to your project: How do these approaches relate to your project? Why is your potential approach novel, different, better, or complementary?
  • Key conclusions and new ideas: What have you learned? Do you have new ideas/approaches based on what you have learned?
