Recommendation Systems
Seminar - summer semester 2008

About the Seminar

Place and Time

• Regular sessions: Tuesday 16:00 - 18:00, Building E 1.3, room 328.
• First session: April 15, 2008

Requirements for successful participation

• Prerequisites: This seminar is suitable for all students, bachelor's or master's, who are interested in software engineering and its applications. You don't need to have any prior knowledge regarding the subject, but participation in any other courses offered by the "Software Engineering" group could be helpful.
• Regular attendance: Attendance are mandatory. An official written note of absence is required if you are unable to attend.
• Seminar discussions: Each seminar session will consist of a discussion of two research papers. These papers will be announced in advance and all the seminar participants will be obliged to read at least one of them and take part in the discussion during the next session.
• Summaries: Weekly, a summary of the assigned and discussed during the previous session paper has to be submitted.
• Talk: In the last few sessions of the seminar, each participant will have to present a paper, that has the same or similar research topic to some of the papers discussed during the semester. Each presentation should last 20 to 25 minutes, allowing further 5 minutes for questions/discussions.
