  2. What’s the point of this course?

  3. What’s the point of this course? • Introduce you to research in our department • Why? • Get you to think critically about research • Why?

  4. What’s the point of this course? • Introduce you to research in our department • Why? • Some of you may still be looking for an advisor • Know your department (to avoid awkward situations) • Research is your #1 priority now • Get you to think critically about research • Why? • In the beginning, your advisor will give you ideas • Eventually you will start having your own ideas • We want to get your started on this ASAP

  5. How does it work? • Each week a different faculty member presents • Most of the talks from within our department • Some talks form outside • Some talks part of the Distinguished Lecture Series • For each talk, you attend and write a review • total of 7 reviews • more on this on next slide • We will have a recap/discussion lecture at the end of the quarter

  6. Reviews • Should be at most 100 words • You fail if you send a review longer than 100 words • That’s really short. like REALLY short. This slide has 69 words!!! • That’s the point, you need to summarize (less is more) • Should be in bullet form, with exactly three bullets: • summarize talk • identify coolest/neatest aspect of research • identify a NEW idea for future research related to the ideas presented in the talk.

  7. Sample review (59 words) • speaker presented new techniques for having a video camera track a person based on microphone inputs • it’s really cool that one can prove bounds on the error of the proposed tracker when compared to an ideal tracker • adapt techniques so that they can point not just the camera at the right place, but also a microphone

  8. Important for third bullet • By new, I mean that the idea was not mentioned during the talk • Third bullet is CRUTIAL • it will train you in thinking about research and research ideas. • Take this as an opportunity to push yourself • think broadly • draw analogies to your current research • and to current trends in technology

  9. Should submit a review for each talk • You should submit a review for each talk • that’s 7 reviews total • a total of 700 words (about 2 pages for the entire quarter) • But I know, stuff happens... • So you can blow off ONE review • with one exception: YOU HAVE TO ATTEND AND REVIEW DLS

  10. How to submit your reviews • Send me an email: lerner@cs.ucsd.edu • By Wed at midnight of the week when the talk happened • The subject should be formatted as follows: • [292:your name:MM/DD] • eg: [292:Sorin Lerner:10/08] • The body of the email should contain the review, in text form. • Use “*” for bullet • separate bullets with newlines

  11. Review format Subjet: [292:Sorin Lerner:10/01] * speaker presented new techniques for having a video camera track a person based on microphone inputs * it’s really cool that one can prove bounds on the error of the proposed tracker when compared to an ideal tracker * adapt techniques so that they can point not just the camera at the right place, but also a microphone
