CS6644: Modeling the World - Paper Reading

Fall 2014

Here's a list of good papers. Papers are loosely ordered from early/seminal to current/state-of-the-art within each category. You're expected to have some historical perspective on the development of research on the problem addressed by your paper, as well as an understanding of the current state of the art, including work that has been done since your paper's publication. While this is a pre-approved list, you may also suggest your own papers/topics and we'll work with you to find the most important/meaty papers in your area of interest.
