    Concept

    In this seminar, students will read their assigned main paper, decide with their supervisor on at least one related paper and write an elaboration on the main concepts of these papers. To this end, students will research related literature and review the main algorithm presented in the paper. The goals are:

    1. Write an elaboration which explains the given algorithm in a concise way. The elaboration must adhere to standards of scientific writing and use appropriate references.
    2. Give a presentation on the topic of the elaboration to other participants of the seminar.

    Proof of performance

    You must submit the following to the supervisor via email as separate documents:

    • the slide set for the presentation
    • a short abstract of the talk
    • a 6 - page LaTeX elaboration using the template provided by us excluding bibliography

    Prior consultation with the supervisor is expressly advised.

    The duration of the presentation is mandatory 20 minutes, after the presentation there will be a discussion in the seminar group (approx. 10 minutes). The presentation (incl. slides and abstract) will be graded with 40%, the paper with 30%. The last 30% evaluates the preparation, participation in the discussion group (especially with other presentations), independence of the elaboration and adherence to deadlines.
