Digital Geometry Processing Reading Group

Digital Geometry Processing Reading Group
The University of British Columbia

The DGP (Digital Geometry Processing) reading group is a weekly research meeting for people working on topics related to geometry processing, where we present and discuss recent research papers while enjoying some food.

We meet every Tuesday from 12:30 to 13:30 in ICCS 304 and discuss one or two papers on a single topic.

Each meeting the presenters introduce the idea, results and conclusions from the chosen paper in 10~15 minutes. The next 10 minutes are dedicated to discussion.

The paper should adhere to the weekly topic, but there are no other restrictions and presenters are allowed to pick any paper of their liking. We nonetheless provide a paper pool for reference.
