Students will be expected to participate in several exercises, to read, present, and discuss research results from the literature, to conduct an experiment, and to present the results as a paper in the CIKM conference format.
Piazza will be used to carry on the discussion between classes. If you are already registered or have corresponded with me regarding the course, you should have received an invitation to join Piazza. If not, please send an email request to join with your name, student nuber, waterloo login ID, email address, and program.
Anyone who completes the first exercise will be given permission to register, provided they meet the university requirements. These permissions will be issued shortly before the drop/add deadline.
