Subject: Rebooting Papers We Love - Chennai
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 00:53:38 +0530
Hello everyone!
In an attempt to revive the Chennai chapter of Papers We Love, we’re
planning to organise a meetup after a long time on the 21st (Saturday)
of this month from 6PM to 7PM. The meetup is free to attend and
everyone regardless of background is welcome to attend.
For those unfamiliar with PWL, they’re a group of meetups where
people interested in various topics of CS get together and discuss an
academic paper each month. If you’re planning to do your masters,
interested in exploring the academic side of things, or even just
expanding your own understanding on a broad spectrum of topics, this
is a great place to do so.
The format is very relaxed too:
* A paper is announced around 2 weeks before the meetup. We’ll have
a poll from the next week onwards to pick the paper.
* Make an attempt to read the paper but it’s okay if you don’t
understand it fully or have questions.
* On the day of the meetup, one of the participants will present the
paper, explaining various topics and such.
* After that, we’ll discuss the various aspects of the paper, the
techniques used, the conclusion, etc.
* You’re free to contribute or just observe and learn. No pressure
either way.
The details of the upcoming meetup:-
Date: 21st November 2020 (Saturday)
