Presentation transcript:

© sebastian thrun, CMU, A Brief Guide to Writing Papers  …this is extremely ad hoc

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Lesson # 1  Put yourself into the position of the reader!

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Lesson # 2  Motivate your problem Why does it matter? Why is it not solved yet? What impact would a solution have? What contribution did you make?

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Lesson # 3  Make the paper a pleasure to read

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Reviewer Background Expertise Reviewers are not familiar with your area: Problem motivation State of the art Background material Notation Significant application domains

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Reviewers are Overworked Don't expect them to pay attention to details Don't expect them to read small fonts Motivate problem, explain why open, why interesting Present one idea, not two, three,... Pick informative title A picture is worth 1000 words Be concise! Get to the point! Run a spell/grammar checker Use terminology consistently Define abbreviations, avoid them if possible Convince reader that experiments fit claims/problem Make sure the paper “flows”

© sebastian thrun, CMU, Your Final Project Paper On-A-Slide  Abstract (short is sweet!) Problem, gap, approach, key results  Introduction Broad problem and impact “scientific gap” summary approach key results  Approach Background tutorial (if necessary) Your technical innovation (might be multiple pages/sections, with repeated reference to scientific gap)  Results Main questions that are being investigated in experiments, ref to gap possibly with main results highlighted Data sets, simulator, implementation details Empirical results (might be multiple pages)  Related Work Don’t just say what’s been done. Point out how prior work relates to yours and to the scientific gap you set forth in the intro.  Summary/Discussions/Conclusion Summary problem, approach, result, in past tense Discuss open questions, promising research directions  References
