We are launching our weekly DB reading group this summer! We meet at 10:30 every Wednesday in Levine 512.
Everyone should read the paper of the week before the meeting. The format is a brief, 5 minute overview/summary by the week's discussion leader, followed by approximately 30 minutes of discussion of the paper's technical contributions, and then approximately 20 minutes of discussion of the paper's presentation. Before participating, please read the questions for paper reading and discussion.
