I thought the simple modification to AdaBoost in order to select a small number of essential features was clever, as was cascading. Even though simplicity of explanation is en vogue these days, I thought they could have taken more time to elaborate upon precisely how much faster features were being evaluated. Overall the paper was well organized; the authors structured the paper well in line with their three contributions, which they thankfully reiterated several times.
