Final Project Check-In 1

Due April 25, 11:59PM EST

For your first final project check-in, you will submit a draft of your literature review. The requirements for the literature review are listed below:

  • In your literature review, you will discuss academic papers that are relevant for your project.
  • There might be multiple reasons why a paper is relevant, including the data, method, and evaluation metric. Your literature review should synthesize the components of the paper that are relevant to your work.
  • Looking for papers:
    • A good place to start looking for related work is the ACL anthology. Google scholar and semantic scholar are also good resources, but are broader in scope and might include unpublished work which might not be high quality.
    • Once you’ve found a relevant paper, you will want to look at papers that it cites (which is easy to do by scrolling down to the references)
    • You’ll also want to look at papers that cite the paper you’re reading. Google scholar has a “cited by” link that allows you to do just that
    • Keep notes as you read papers. You’ll probably read a lot of papers at the level of the “first pass” that we talked about early in the semseter in order to determine whether or not they are relevant.
  • Requirements:
    • Groups of 2: at least 300 words and at least 6 citations
    • Groups of 3: at least 450 words and at least 9 citations
