CptS 595: AI Seminar

COURSE OVERVIEW: The purpose of this class is to serve as a journal club. During our weekly classes we will meet to critically evaluate recent articles in the Artificial Intelligence academic literature. We will not focus on the research areas you are each pursuing for your dissertation. Instead, we will look at papers introducing emerging topics, papers with demonstrated excellence, and papers describing topics of interest to the AI Group at Washington State University. Each class we will focus on one paper or topic. Each student will lead one of these classes. Unlike paper critiques, the main focus of the presentation will be to educate the class on the topic and techniques found in the paper(s). You are encouraged to go beyond the selected paper as appropriate to either 1) survey other papers on the topic, 2) create examples to illustrate the ideas, 3) implement and evaluate an aspect of the idea, and/or 4) create discussion questions for the class.
