Project

Course will be project focused

You will pick a project idea near the beginning of the semester - I can help suggest or refine project ideas in office hours.

Projects can be implementing/modifying one of the papers we discuss or original research

There will be a few status updates over the semester where you will briefly describe progress and we can provide suggestions

Projects can be completed alone or in pairs

Hopefully some of these projects can be submitted to a conference!
