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 novel and
interesting methods for the topic that you are working on.

This seminar belongs to the course series COMP 6770: Professional
Development in Computer Science and Engineering
