Maciejewski 1. A one or two sentence summary of the paper. Describes how to analyze sources of ill conditioning and what numerical techniques to apply to alleviate the difficulties. 2. A one or two sentence description of the problem the paper is trying to solve. Try to solve the ill conditioning that arises in ways that give desired motion results. 3. A one of two sentence description of the method used to solve the problem. Assess the severity of the situation using singular value analysis. Used damped least-squares formulation to avoid spurious values. 4. A list of short (approx one sentence) descriptions of the key ideas of the paper. Describe the source of ill conditioning in the motion for articulated figures. and robust numerical method to solve it. 5. A list of short (approx one sentence) descriptions of the contributions of the paper. Gives a method to obtain physically meaningful solutions without excessive computations. 6.
