  Agenda and Minutes

1. Updates and plans.

• MH's paper: registration fees were probably $30. Paper submittal status. Recall the video presentation at https://youtu.be/TwFtty7XFvE.
• PT's FTC paper (& reg. fees?). He has applied for reimbursement from the university. 
• VJB's paper - rotate among coauthors for comments and editorial suggestions?
• VJB - has some half life results for satellite launches in a few different years.
• Welcome guest SD.

2. Background literature update.

• "LSTM has demonstrated great success in various NLP tasks and is the state of the art algorithm for sequential data." - An Encoder-Decoder model for visual question answering in the medical domain, I. Allaouzi, M. Ben Ahmed, B. Benamrou, CLEF 2019.

For general reference here are some generic questions about articles:

       a. What is the source? 
       b. What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper? 
       c. Why is that advance important? 
       d. What important questions arise from the paper for future research? 
       e. What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer? 
       f. What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)? 
       g. What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals? 

       h. Questions from the group? 

3. Reading and discussion: 

    a. For the Reynolds and Szerszynski reading, we read up to the last paragraph, p. 16.

    b. Our next paper will be  Hu et al. 2015, A survey on life prediction of equipment.

    c. We found that the paper at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-40896-1_3 seems like a good paper for us to read.
