In the last couple of years we started doing a scientific paper club every Friday here at CW AI team. The way we organize it is pretty simple
Every week one team member chooses a different scientific paper to be discussed.
Papers do not need to be related with CloudWalk projects. Although this usually happens (topics are pretty relevant to stuff we are working on).
The person who chooses the paper is responsible for presenting it to other member.
Papers are shared on Monday so has time to read it until Friday.
The event itself is more or less 30 minutes presentation + 30 min discussion questions ideas
Our paper club has been extremely beneficial for our team productivity and performance. It has foster many ideas on how to improve our models, not only due to the technical knowledge we gain from reading researches but also due to the engaging discussion we have at the end of each meeting.
This week paper was Growing Neural Cellular Automata https://distill.pub/2020/growing-ca/
