Critique Writing (1 page)

Summary Problem addressed Novelty of Algorithms/Solutions Key observations

Strengths Technical strengths (e.g., “paper is very good” is non-technical.)

Weaknesses Technical weaknesses (e.g., poor English is not a weakness)

Your Own Extensions Your own thoughts on how to design a better solution to the same problem, or almost

solve a different problem with the same solution. Or, your thoughts on special cases (not identified in the paper) where the solution fails

to apply. And, your own approaches to solve it. Or, application of techniques learned from the paper to solve other problems

Class Presentation

Read the important related works cited, in addition to the paper you are presenting.

Outline Significance of the problem Why is solving the problem challenging? Previous approaches (related work)

Also mention the ones that you have read Proposed approach and motivation behind it Analytical results/proofs Simulation/Experimental Results Summary
