Review papers

  • Keep these questions in your mind when you reviews papers:
    • What's the paper trying to do?
    • What's the potential contribution of paper?
  • Short summary of strengths and weekness.
  • Details:
    • Technical flaws?
    • Structure of the paper?
    • The big idea brought out?
  • Only describe system, or also present motivation and justification of the approach?
  • Presentation?
    • e.g. underfined terms, confusing words.
