3. Prepare a 5 min flash talk that summarizes this paper and present this to the class on Thursday. Note that preparing a short talk is often times much more difficult than a longer talk. Think about how to efficiently convey your paper and practice your talk. Talks should be uploaded here before class (one submission per group, we will try to present from a single computer): https://forms.gle/85KH5p1f2itWnPGE9

If there are multiple people signed up for a paper, students should work together to prepare a single presentation.
Everyone should submit their own written summary.
