A 6-page single-spaced paper summarizing and synthesizing 5 articles from the literature that are relevant to your final project.
- PDF or Word Doc format.

Tips on major things to include:

1. General Problem/Task Definition: what are these papers trying to solve? why?
2. Concise summaries of the articles: Do not simply copy the article text in full, we can read them ourselves. Put in your own words the major contributions of each article.
3. Compare and Contrast: Probably the most interesting section, point out the similarities and differences of the papers. Do they agree with each other? Are results seemingly in conflict? If the papers address different subtasks, how are they related? (if they are not related, then you may have made poor choices for a lit review...)
4. Future Work: Make several suggestions for how the work can be extended. Are there open questions to answer? This would presumably include how the papers relate to your final project idea.

Other: (2) and (3) can obviously be combined and don't have to be separate!
