Presenting Papers

This seminar has two parts — a presentation that familiarize people with the topic and help them with paper reading, and a discussion in the subsequent week with the expectation that people have a good understanding of the paper. Aim for 20-25 minutes for your presentation, and 25-30 minutes discussion (prepare questions and slides).
