Each lecture has a theme. Two students will be presenting a paper within that theme. While preparing your presentation, you must try to integrate the papers as much as possible into a coherent presentation. The presentation will need to summarize the papers and include:
Introduction: introduce the problem , explain why it is important to solve it; indicate the method that is proposed to solve it.
Review of previous work; this is an important session; make sure that an appropriate background is given. Don't hesitate to review previous/preliminary concepts that are critical for the understanding of the presented work. If a good background is given, it is easier to explain the details of the method and technical solution later on.
Why the presented method is better than previous work; and/or explain the key contributions of this work;
Technical part: Summary of the technical solution, followed by the details of the technical solution;
Experiments: present here experimental results with plots, graphs, images and visualizations.
Conclusions: what's the take home message?
Remember to upload your slides to Gradescope before you present!
Length:
The presentation needs to be about 20 minutes long, with room for 5 minutes of questions + discussion from the class.
Evaluation:
The presentation will be evaluated based on the clarity of the presentation, quality of the slides, how well you get your message across, and how well you handle the questions at the end.
Use the CVPR LaTeX template.
Max 6 pages for progress and 10 pages for final report.
Title and authors
Abstract: short summary of the project with main results
6 sections:
Introduction: introduce the problem you want to solve, explain why it is important to solve it; and indicate the method you used to solve it. add a concept figure showing the overall idea behind the method you are presenting.
Previous Work
Review of previous work (i.e. previous methods that have explored a similar problem)
Say why your method is better than previous work; and/or summarize the key main contributions of your work;
Technical Part
Summary of the technical solution
Details of the technical solution; you may want to decompose this section into several subsections; add figures to help your explanation.
Experiments: present here experimental results of the method you have implemented with plots, graphs, images and visualizations.
Conclusions: what's the take home message?

Evaluation:
Your project report will be evaluated based on the quality of the writing, the clarity of your technical explanation and, overall, how well you get your message across. If you follow the structure above, you'll have good chances to do a good job.
Project Source Code:
There is no need to attach a print out of the source codes to the manuscript. Final source codes of your working program need to be collected into a unique (zipped) file; this file is due on the project submission deadline date and it is supposed to be sent to the course staff email.
Be prepared to ask questions during and after the lecture. At the end of each lecture, two discussion leaders are randomly selected: the discussion leader will ask questions to the presenters and lead a 5-minute discussion panel; the quality of the questions & discussion panel will be used for evaluating class participation.
