Homework

Practice being a reviewer. In total, the homework for this course includes writing two reviews. For each review, select a paper from the course schedule and provide a detailed evaluation. The review should include the following:

• Summary. Describe the key ideas, experimental or theoretical results, and their significance.
• Strengths. Consider the significance of key ideas, experimental or theoretical validation, writing quality, data contribution. Explain clearly why these aspects of the paper are valuable.
• Weaknesses. Consider the significance of key ideas, experimental or theoretical validation, writing quality, data contribution. Clearly explain why these are weak aspects of the paper, e.g., why a specific prior work has already demonstrated the key contributions, or why the experiments are insufficient to validate the claims, etc.
• Relation to recent works. This section deviates from the standard review process. As most of the papers in the course schedule have been accepted for sometime, this section should reflect on the paper's contribution to the field and impact on recent works.

The review should be typeset in Latex using CVPR's template and be roughly 1-1.5 pages long.

The project could be theoretical, experimental, or both! The goal is really to do something interesting. See possible project ideas below.

List of possible topics

• Re-implement a paper from scratch
• Deep dive into a topic and explain it well
• Build on top of existing methods for new capabilities
• Literature survey on a topic

Project proposal

The proposal should be typeset in Latex using CVPR's template and be roughly one page long and include the following:

1. Proposal (What do you plan to do)
2. Related Works (Discuss the relevant papers)
3. Approach (How do you plan to do it?)
4. Results (Anticipated Results)
