Resources

To access the papers in the UB digital library, you may need to use the proxy server and reload the appropriate page: 
 http://libweb.lib.buffalo.edu/help/help.asp?ID1=442
Many papers can be googled on the author pages or retrieved from 
dblp
.

Workload

  1. Prepare and present a talk based on one or more papers from the current computer science literature (I will distribute the papers and help with the presentation).
  2. The presentations will be problem-oriented, not paper-oriented. It may be necessary to read more than one paper and/or split the work with another presenter. For example, one presenter may give a general introduction to the area and the other present a specific approach in depth.
  3. Prepare a report based on the same material.
  4. Attend all the classes and participate in the discussions.
  5. There may also be presentations by the instructor and/or invited speakers.

Prerequisites

Required background: a course in databases. Some knowledge of logic or knowledge representation is helpful. .

Grading

The seminar is graded S/U and can be taken for 3 credits. An implementation project is a possibility: see the instructor.
