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.
