[ x,y ] \\ x: necessary mandatory number of papers to be read -- absolute minimum number. \\ y: the recommended number. \\ No number: Read all the papers listed. It is your responsibility to ensure that you grasp the **concepts covered** in this class; the readings are //my top choices// (suggestions) for getting this done. However, if you are aware of alternative sources of treatment of the concepts covered in these you may prefer to read about them from your preferred source. If in doubt, ask me. Assigned readings should be read //before// class. \\ If you do so you will already have some familiarity with the subject matter, which not only means you will //remember it better// but also that you can //ask questions for clarification during the lecture// and partially //steer its direction//. Reading the papers after class //is less effective//. You are expected to read all of the papers assigned in this course, **at least** 2-3 papers per week (4 recommended). //Keep at it and you'll be fine!// Warning: Do not attempt to read papers **during** the group sessions as this is the absolute worst way to cover this material if you truly are interested in learning (you may of course have it open for reference). Reading the assigned readings **not at all** should generally be avoided. \\ **As you read papers from each of the following categories I want you ask yourself a few questions:** * For each paper in each category X, ask yourself: * What is X? * How does the human mind do X? * Do current computers do X? * ...and ... * Do we need (to replicate or capture) what the human mind does to achieve X to create a machine that rivals the ability of humans to do X? If you can answer them satisfactorily when you're done reading you're good! Even if you can't you'll be fine if you: Write down the discrepancies and //bring them to class in the form of questions//. There is no such thing as a 'stupid question' when you're learning something new. \\ \\ \\ \\ //EOF//
