The seminar will be conducted in the form a journal club.

Students who are enrolled in the class will be required to make two 30-to-45-minute presentations each summarizing a recent article in computational learning or computational statistics. ("Recent" means 2005 or later.)

The presentations can be simple summaries, or, preferably, critical reviews citing other work or possible approaches.
