Course plan

Format

- We meet bi-weekly on Tuesdays 13:15-15:00 throughout the semester to discuss papers in machine learning.

- The paper selection is based on certain topics that we decide on together during the first session (a brainstorming session), so the topics covered during each semester (i.e. course instance) will be based on the participants' interests. We will stick with one topic for two consecutive sessions.

- Two people will share the responsibility for selecting good and representative papers for each topic. You can either collaborate on the two sessions, or take one session each.

 - Each session we will have one main paper that everyone should read, and possibly a few more related papers.

 - Each session will start with a presentation by the person(s) who is responsible for that session, focusing on putting the main paper in a context. For instance, you can present the key idea of the main paper and how this differs from the related papers that you have picked. 

 - The presentation is followed by a discussion. 

PhD students who want to earn three course credits (3hp) need to be responsible for one session/topic, and actively participate in at least 70 % of the sessions.
