Revision as of 14:44, 21 May 2013

On this page the members of the VRL record and refine their goals for the current semester. This is a living document in which dhl will provide feedback. See the bottom of the page for links to past plans & goals documents.

Current Schedule

Meetings are on Mondays. The authoritative list is in dhl's calendar.

Current Plans and Goals (Spring '13)

Connor

Connor

  • Take courses.
    • Topics in Computational Biology
    • Intro to AI or CLPS "Core Topics in Perception" grad seminar
    • Reading & Research: research comp, visual saliency, 237 data analysis
  • Select a Research Comp proposal, start working on it, and propose
    • Formulate idea by February 18th
    • Submit committee to department and have rough draft of proposal done by March 11th
  • Wrap up 237 project either immediately or create plan for eventual wrap up

_____________

January 28

  • Create new python script to analyze 237 data. Use it to convert the data into a more easily machine-readable format, and use new format for analysis
  • From brainstorming list identify trends, and write down the three most common areas (e.g., uncertainty visualization, xxxx and memory, etc.) with +’s/-’s
  • Transfer IRB accreditation from Tufts to Brown. If expiring this school year, determine if easier by means of paper filing to just let it expire and recertify at Brown

February 4

  • Looking at +’s/-’s narrow down the areas to at most two. For the filtered area(s), list at most four specific ideas.
  • For each idea list if it needs collaboration in a domain, what evaluation components it requires, and what development component it requires.
  • Report on new analysis results. List all ways it makes sense to slice the data/analyze it. This will make analysis easier to plan for.

February 11

  • Filter down the ideas to at most three ideas.
  • Write down ½ to 1 page descriptions for each. These contribution areas should read like a related works section. Use this to focus each idea more.

February 18

  • Select an idea. (This should be done soon after February 11)
  • [Conditional] Meet (or plan meeting later in the week) with any potential collaborators. Talk to them about my idea and how it fits in with what areas they’re thinking about.
  • [Conditional] Brainstorm how to tie my ideas in with collaborators
  • Finish 237 data analysis

February 25

  • Put all materials up to this point in archival form on the file system
  • Make a formalized list of each contribution of my proposal and how I propose to make that contribution. Allow contingencies.
  • Convert all writing relevant to my research comps I’ve done so far into LaTeX for my proposal. Finish A Shitty First Draft™

March 4

  • Finish second draft of proposal
  • Chunk what I have to do into a research comp schedule for the rest of the semester (including, specifically, what needs to happen by proposal). Look over with David

March 11

  • Submit research comp committee to department
  • Select proposal date that must be before April 21

March 18

  • Adapt contribution area writing to the application area to form first draft of proposal

March 25 – IN SPRING BREAK

  • Edit proposal. New revision = draft 2

April 1 – POST SPRING BREAK

  • 237 work should be fully wrapped up by end of spring break. Make a call on what to do with the work at this point.
  • Have final proposal draft done.

April 8 to End

  • Create schedule and goals for research comp
  • Make progress on those goals
  • Tie up 237 project or get ready for some sort of submission.
