MIR workshop 2008 notes
This page is intended to supplement the lecture material found in the class - providing extra tutorials, support, references for further reading, or demonstration code snippets for those interested in a given topic. Please contribute to this growing list of resources. Do you have a great explanation of how a technique works? Found a great Java applet that illustrates a concept? Discovered a great survey of the field for a particular area? Please add it for the benefit of future students. Thanks!
I encourage you to ADD links and sections - but please do not REMOVE headings or items from the page.
