COL865: Physics-Based Animation
Paper presentations and discussions

Each student will be expected to give two paper presentations. Other papers of interest will be covered in class discussions.

The paper presentation should be 18 to 20 minutes long, and will be followed by questions from the rest of the class. In your presentation, you must (i) clearly define the problem addressed by the work, (ii) describe the key ideas and novel contributions, and (iii) discuss the tradeoffs and limitations of the proposed approach. You should also try to relate the presented paper to its broader context, for example in terms of the state of the art at the time, fundamental concepts and issues discussed in the course, and/or potential applications.

Every student other than the presenter is expected to also read the paper in advance, and prepare some questions or comments on interesting issues raised by the paper.

Suggested papers for presentations and discussions are given below. Each presentation will be from one of the two lists. If you would like to present a different paper not on these lists, please talk to me about it first. We will also have in-class discussion sessions for many of the other papers in the lists that did not get presented.

Go through some of these papers and choose which one(s) you would prefer to give your presentations on, and which others you would like to have discussed in class. I recommend carefully reading the abstracts and introductions and also skimming the technical sections before making your decision. Submit your preferences for the first presentation on Moodle by Friday, September 28, and your preferences for the second presentation on Moodle by Sunday, October 21.
