Write your summary here. This section should briefly explain the main idea of the paper, the approach used, and the key findings. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Three Key Things You Learned} List and explain at least three important concepts, techniques, or lessons you gained from the paper. \noindent\textbf{Examples:} \begin{itemize} \item ``I learned how convolution filters extract features from images and build hierarchical representations.'' \item ``I learned that residual connections help with gradient flow in very deep networks.'' \item ``I learned why pretraining on large datasets improves downstream performance.'' \end{itemize} % (Students should write at least three bullet points with short explanations.) Write your three key takeaways here. Explain why each is important or interesting. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{New Knowledge} Identify ideas, terms, or methods that were \textbf{new to you} and describe how they expanded your understanding. \noindent\textbf{Guiding questions:} \begin{itemize} \item What concepts or techniques were unfamiliar before reading? \item What new tools, datasets, or architectures did you discover? \item What results or analysis surprised you? \end{itemize} Write this section focusing on what you did \emph{not} know before reading the paper and how it helped you learn. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \section{Questions or Areas for Improvement} Discuss parts of the paper that were unclear, confusing, or that you think could have been explained better from a student perspective. \noindent\textbf{Examples:} \begin{itemize} \item ``I found the mathematical notation unclear in Section 3.'' \item ``The dataset description was too brief; I wanted more details about preprocessing.'' \item ``I didn’t understand why they chose this particular baseline model.'' \end{itemize} Write your questions and constructive suggestions here. Be specific rather than giving generic comments. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % OPTIONAL: REFERENCES (if students cite other work) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % If you need references beyond the main paper, you may uncomment this: %{ % \small % \bibliographystyle{ieeenat_fullname} % \bibliography{main} %} \end{document}
