Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

=== the information below is preliminary, to be finalized soon ===

Participants will have to present one topic from the list in the seminar, the presentation should be roughly 25 minutes (hard limits: min. 20 minutes, max. 30 minutes). The presentation is followed by a QA-session and discussion. Participants will also have to submit a written report (deadline: February 28, 2021; 15-20 pages, exact requirements TBD), describing the main contents of the presented paper and putting it in a wider context.

Please send an email to nlp.datamining@univie.ac.at including a selection of *5 topics* from the list below, and indicate your *study program* (Computer Science, Digital Humanities, ...). You will be assigned one topic from your selection (for your presentation and report). For additional two topics (also from your selection, but presented by somebody else) you will have to prepare some questions that can get a discussion started.
If your selection includes topics from groups [A] or [B], please send your email until Friday, September 25 (first possible presentation will be Thursday, October 8). Otherwise, send your email until Tuesday, October 6 (presentations from October 22).

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

=== the information below is preliminary, to be finalized soon ===

Your presentation will account for 45% of the grade, participation in discussions for 10%, and the written report for 45%.
