Previous Semesters Papers/Books:

Scoring for each paper is based on Journal Club attendees’ personal judgment.

Each journal clubber rates a given paper on a scale from 1 to 5,

with “5” being “Highly Competitive” and “1” being “Not Competitive”.

A paper’s recorded “Score” is the average of these individual scores.

Papers’ evaluation for the Bellman prize is based on the following criteria:

1) Significance,

2) Readability and

3) Clarity of objective.
