NIP Class Papers, Assignment 2
Deadline 6. April 2018, 4pm
Pick one of the papers from the list below. Do not pick the paper we discussed in class (Kirpatrick et al.).
- Describe the central problem the paper is attempting to address.
- How does it build on previous work and evidence?
- Briefly describe the methods used, focussing on aspects central to the results.
- Summarise the key finding(s) and advances presented in the paper.
- Discuss the biological plausibility if you have chosen a paper about artificial systems, or the insights that could benefit artificial systems if you have chosen a biological paper.
Each question has equal weight in the final mark. There is no word limit or minimum length length we expect, but please ensure you provide sufficient information to address each question and demonstrate understanding. As a rough guide, if your answer
to a question has less than 150 words, check if your answer is sufficiently informative.
Use the DICE submit command, in case this fails, you can hand in a hardcopy at the ITO. Command: submit nip cw2 file.pdf
