How to do research?

• Find a research point.
• Read new paper,such as ICCV,CVPR,PAMI.If you find some new idea,which can be made use of in your work,you can do it.
• Think it before you do it,analyze why you do it like that.
• If you have a problem,talk about it with your teachers,and colleagues,analyze why it doesn't work.Brain storm...
• Do not depend on others excessively,you should have your own ideas.
• When you talk about with others,you should know what you can get from others.If you have any problem, must solve it.Do not leave it alone.
• Study how to write a good paper,including structure,grammar,...,ensure readers can easily understand what you want to express, and your experiment support your idea.

A “Template” for Good Papers--From the report of Professor Charles Ling

• Abstract What is the problem? What is your solution and results?
• Introduction Problem X is important.Previous work A, B, … have been studied A, B have certain weakness (be careful here);We propose D, features of D (how much)Experiment with D.Compared with A, B,D is better than A, B(in certain aspects) ;Outline of the paper
• Review of Previous Work Previous work:may split to several classes,e.g. Can review each work in one or several sentences;Compare to yours (refer to later sections)May also put it after sections about your work.
• Our Work Definition, notation (need motivation);Algorithms: pseudo-code; diagram;explanations Answer potential questions from readers;Too much details (such as proof): appendix
• Experiments and Comparisons Experiment design;Comparisons (Is it scientific?); Discussions (make sense of the results);Draw conclusions;
• Conclusions Quick summary;Future work
