===== Reading Group ===== | ===== Reading Group ===== |
| Official name of this course is [[https://is.cuni.cz/studium/predmety/index.php?do=predmet&kod=NPFL095|NPFL095]] **Modern Methods in Computational Linguistics**. It is a continuation of informal Reading Group (RG) meetings. Requirements for getting credits: |
| * presenting one paper, |
| * Select a term (write your name to the schedule below) before October 13. |
| * If no paper is assigned to the term, suggest [[mailto:popel@ufal.mff.cuni.cz|me]] 2--3 papers you would like to present (with pdf links, and your preferences) before October 20. Ideally, make a group of 2--4 students presenting papers on a common topic (starting from basics to more advance papers). |
| * Prepare your presentation and 3--5 quiz questions. At least 3 of the questions should ask for a specific answer, e.g. "write an equation for...", "given training set X=([dog,N],[cat,Y]), what is the number..." (Not "what do you think about..."). The first question should be quite easy to answer for those who have read the whole paper. The last question may be a tricky one. Send me the questions two weeks before your presentation. We may discuss the paper and refine the questions. |
| * One week before the presentation, write the questions to a dedicated wiki page here. Send a reminder (questions and a link to the pdf of the paper) to rg@ufal.mff.cuni.cz by Monday 15:45. |
| |
^ Contact | pecina at ufal.mff.cuni.cz | | * active participation in the discussions, which is conditioned by reading the papers in advance and attending the meetings, |
^ Mailing list | rg at ufal.mff.cuni.cz | | * sending your answers to me and the presenter by Saturday 23:59 (so the presenter can go through all answers before the presentation and focus more on problematic parts). |
^ List Archive | [[http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/mailman/listinfo/rg]] | | * In case of more than three missed meetings or deadlines, additional work (e.g. reports or answers to tricky questions) will be required. |
