| * Prepare your presentation and three quiz questions. | * 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. |
