Abstract:

In this talk, I will share my own experience on how to conduct research.

There are a lot of important elements for conducting research.
The first element is presentation. It is very important to express
your new ideas clearly to researchers in the world. The second element
is reading which is a way to understand the literature well.
The third element is topic finding which helps you identify your own
topic you should work on. The fourth element is technical skills which help
you develop noveland interesting methods for the topic that you are working
on.

This seminar belongs to the course series COMP 6770: Professional
