HCI meeting agenda
by Seyong Ha 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

Hi hci-DGPers, Thanks for your opinions for our HCI meeting. To briefly talk about the opinions, common grounds for our meeting agenda are sharing research ideas in an ‘informal’ and a ‘flexible’ way. Reading group session has also many supports, but not a mandatory way. Since we have biweekly meetings and flexible schedules in the meeting. Reading group session may not go on even for a semester. So my suggestion is that volunteers form a reading group and keep have a their own group. They will share their readings and discussion on slack channel and occasionally presents in the HCI meeting. This is my suggestion, feel free to suggest your idea by replying this email or by writing #general or #reading_group channel on Slack. Also, for the upcoming meeting, if anyone would like to have their own session, reply this email by EOD Nov 10th. I have one slot for the upcoming HCI meeting. Followings are the opinions from the members (‘*’ represents the priority based on the opinions) 1) Share/Discuss research ideas in an informal way *** 2) Practice talk * 3) Brainstorming ** 4) Reading group, 1-3 paper presentations and discussion for biweekly meeting) * 5) Mock-up PC meetings (sounds fun) 6) Reviewing conference papers 7) Practice how to give research/job talks. Thanks, Seyong ------------------------------------------ Dynamic Graphics Project Lab., Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Seyong Ha
