Enjoyable? Make an interesting story and sell it… Tough game but…let us love this game!
Outline • Topic selection (故事的主题) • Techniques Developing (故事的展开) • Paper writing (故事的写作) • Experiment (故事的现实性)
Topic Selection (new vs existing topics) New topics: • New areas • tough to promote but go for it • Very sound applications (e.g. association rules, data cube, etc) • New problem formalization • tough to promote • avoid delta variations • Period-dependent (NP-completeness, probabilistic queries, etc) • Semantics validation
Topic Selection (new vs existing topics) • Existing problems • Need a “big” story • Complexity breakthroughs! • Critical observations!
Developing Techniques • Single ideas vs multiple ideas? • My personal choice: single idea and framework • Multiple ideas: completeness of your selection • How many enough? Interesting enough? • Nothing to do with quantity • Interesting “insights”! (minimum: 3 interesting spots?) • No space left for reviewers to imagine an immediate improvements.
Writing-up • Easy for “busy” people to read. • Make the early parts most interesting. • Clearly structured. • No holes! • Make a good story in the introduction part • 40% contribution to your success • Your short bio/CV
Experiments • Final chance to market your technical developments • Avoid to have “fun” and mess-up things around! • Results presented aim to verify your insights.
