Paper Structure:
Your term paper should have the following sections:
- Introduction
- Related Work
- Preliminaries
- Problem Definition
- Solution Overview
- Main Results
- Experimental Results (if any)
- Conclusions
Paper Skeleton:
The paper skeleton should contain the first 5 sections.
Almost-Paper
:
The almost-paper should contain the first 6 sections, where parts of
section 5 can be TBD. If Section 5 contains theorems that you intend
to prove, then the statements of the theorems and lemmata should be
present, while proofs need not be provided. If you plan to perform
experiments to validate your hypotheses, then the expected results
should be included in the almost-paper. It should also incorporate
reviewer feedback on the paper skeleton.
Polished Version:
The polished version should include everything and address all reviewer
comments.
Reviews:
Each student is expected to review at least two peer papers. Each review
should be no less than 1 page, single spaced, 11 point Times font. Each
review should contain the following elements:
- Summary of the paper (at most 25% of the review)
- Detailed feedback about any aspects about notation, theory, problem setup that is not clear.
- Pointers about related work not cited by the paper with comparisons if possible.
- Comments about technical novelty and the importance of the problem considered in the paper.
- Suggestions to improve the paper.
