Reading Group and Research Seminar


Time slot: TBA

This page contains information and the schedule for the Bath Visual Computing reading group.

Reading Group

A short presentation (~20 minutes) of a topic that is relevant to a student’s research and of more general interest to the wider group. The topic can come from a paper, tutorial, survey, proposal etc. You can prepare slides, if you like, or present using existing resources.

Preparation: Please send the title of your chosen talk and a link to the project (if any) to the organiser the week before your presentation. The idea is to allow others to look at the content prior to the reading group.


Ground rules
  1. Timeslots were allocated randomly with manual tweaks to ensure at least 4 weeks between presentations by the same person.
  2. If a time is inconvenient for whatever reason, please find someone to swap with, who agrees to swap. Notify the organiser about the swap via email, ccing the other presenter.
