Additional Reading Schedule

We ask each student to select two papers from the following list and sign up to evaluate them. The calendar of available dates is posted below. Signups for dates are done chronologically, and papers are first-come-first-served.

Additional paper evaluations are to be submitted at noon on Saturday/Monday, so as to not conflict with the Tuesday/Thursday schedule above. Each student is to do two such reviews. To sign up to do one of your additional paper evaluations, email barath@cs.ucsd.edu with the paper (from the list below) and date you'd like to do the eval. There are three paper evaluation slots per date and eval slots for subsequent weeks are not available for signup until previous weeks are filled.

We expect you to read these additional-paper evaluations written by your fellow students, and encourage you to ask questions on the blog in response to the evaluation postings. (It is likely that some of these papers will happen to be relevant or related to your course research project.)
