A preliminary list of mini-projects:
You can either choose one of the projects in this (still growing) list
and do an experimental project, or, you can choose one of the papers
in the additional reading list (see the Handouts page) and do a paper presentation.
Project presentation will take place in the last 2 lectures of the quarters.
