- To maximize fairness, we have decided to assign papers to groups and papers to dates randomly. Groups are free to pairwise swap papers, provided that i) papers are presented according to the currently planned dates, AND ii) they inform Prof. Rodrigo Rodrigues via email at least one day in advance. 

 - While it is OK to borrow text or figures from the original presentations from the authors, this is discouraged and must be properly credited by indicating with >=20 pt font, for each line of text or figure borrowed, “source: authors’ presentation”. 

 - The presentation must clearly convey the technical contents of the paper, explaining:

•  what is the problem being solved? 
•  what are the challenges? 
• what makes the problem difficult? 
•  what are the key insights/techniques/lessons used to address those challenges? 

- In addition, the presentation must include a personal critique in the style of a paper review, covering at least the following:

• is this a relevant problem, for which it is important to find a solution? 
• is the solution original? 
• are the ideas novel and insightful? 
•  is the solution technically sound? 
• does it adequately solve the problem? 
•  did the authors demonstrate through an experimental evaluation the good and bad points about the solution?
