CSC 665 Class Schedule
(under construction --- changes are inevitable)

Link to syllabus

I have included CVPR milestones in the following schedule. CVPR is a key vision conference with a submission deadline of November 11. Milestones are included to facilitate synchronizing CVPR activities with the class, as some projects might be connected to CVPR submission. However, CVPR related activities or paper submission are not course requirements.
