Readings README

Note: DO NOT SKIP READING THE BELOW TEXT

Papers under each section are ordered from most to least important, so start counting from the top.

[ 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; the readings are my top choices 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.

You are expected to read a lot of papers in this course, at least 3-4 papers per week (5 recommended). Keep at it and you'll be fine!

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.

Warning: Do not attempt to read them during class - this is absolutely the worst way to cover this material (but of course you may 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.
