Survey Paper Topic Proposal

Due by: October 31, 2020

Description:
Propose a topic for your survey paper. Your submission should be a simple pdf file
containing your name, the topic you are proposing, and a brief reason (two or three
sentences) why you choose the topic. You may go in one of two main directions in your
choice of topic:
1) choose a topic that is related to your semester project, but looks at the broader
literature around it OR
2) choose a topic that is completely unrelated to your semester project.

Survey papers are to be written and submitted individually. If you happen to choose a
topic related to your semester project, make sure to coordinate with your team-mate
(mates) so you choose topics that take different angles or explore different issues. Exactly
the same topic as your team-mate is not allowed.

A document with guidelines for writing a survey paper is posted separately.

Suggestions for topics:
Below are some suggestions for survey topics that you could consider and adapt to your
background/interest. This list is meant to inspire ideas, not to prescribe topics. I may
update the list if I come up with more
