B652 Candidate Papers for Class Presentations

This page lists candiate papers for student presentations. If you are especially interested in a relevant area not covered here, please discuss it with me; I'm happy to shape the coverage based on class interests. The list includes 11 papers, of which 9 will be selected for presentation in class.

Note that the presentations are to cover a topic, rather than simply a paper. The papers will be read by everyone in the class to give background and a common starting point, from which the presenters will build to clarify questions, give their own perspectives, and go beyond the paper.
