Bilan First Phase of Course
:LOGBOOK:
- State "DONE" from "" [2010-05-04 Tue 17:39]
:END:
<2010-05-04 Tue 14:30-16:00>
1) What did we see up to now?
* A list of topics
- hanoi tower and disk pile
- searching and integer coding
- sorting and permutation coding
- convex hull and variants
- union
- intersection and pattern matching
- Vertex Cover
* A list of techniques
- parametrization of the analysis:
- output sensitivity
- adaptive (analysis of) algorithms
- parameterized complexity
- instance optimality
- kernelisation
* Some stories and their morals
- Convex Hull: O(n^2)
- which was O(nh)
- which was uncomparable with O(n\lg n)
- which got solved by O(n\lg h)
- which got improved by O(n H_v)
- which was made direction independant by O(nH)
- which is still uncomparable with O(n\lg runs)
- Sorting: many measures of difficulty
- some reducible one to another,
- some uncomparable.
- Doubling Search: usefull at many levels
- searching into a sorted array
- searching into a parameter's domain
2) What I want for the second phase
* To take it easy (:+\)
* Each of you to study one topic,
- hopefully close to your own center of interest
- sufficiently in detail to be able to rewrite it
- and potentially improve/adapt the writing
- (and the result if it hapens)
* I will be available to help each of you individually
(I won't take it that easy)

3) What I plan for the third phase
* Each of you to study one direction in which to extend or
apply the topic you studied in the previous phase.
- in a direction chosen either on your own or with me.
- in a SHORT TIME: the goal is as much to eliminate quickly
promising but unfructful perspectives as to obtain results.
* I will be available to help each of you individually (even
when the research topic is unfructful or far from my own.)
* If you think the theme is not hopeful, your talk should
convincingly explain why so. It could prove harder than
proving that the result is promising!



***** Student Evaluations of the talks
****** Modus Operandi
* Form of the talk
- prof and students fill form and give one note in {1,...,7},
obtained by summing the points of the first part.
- average of those marks give the /TalkForm/ note of the speaker.
* Content of the talk
- prof reads the content part of the form
- gives it a note in {1,...,7}
- enters it in a square matrix between the two students (speaker and auditor)
- average of notes gives the /TalkContent/ note of the speaker.
* Attention of auditor
- at the end of the phase, average of /TalkContent/ notes of a
student yields his /auditor/ note.
