   This seminar series intends to have graduate students in the lab introduce one well-known and relevant research paper to our current research, and discuss with other lab members. In a seminar, the presenter is going to cover the following four aspects (2W+2H):

• What this paper is about?
• Why this paper is well-known and important to you and us?
• How the authors formulate and solve the problem?
• How this paper potentially benefits your and others’ research?
