Paper Reading Questions

For each paper, your assignment is two-fold. By 10PM the evening before lecture:

Submit your answer for each lecture's paper question via the submission web site in a file named lecn.txt, and
Submit your own question about the paper (e.g., what you find most confusing about the paper or the paper's general context/problem) in a file named sqn.txt. You cannot use the question below. To the extent possible, during lecture we will try to answer questions submitted the evening before.

Once you submit your own question and answer (or after the deadline has passed), you can view the questions and answers that other students submitted.

Lecture 16
