• Meta-objective: make measurable progress toward the dissertation.
  • Key result: curve-clustering / macrostructure-initialization chapter is complete by 04/27.
  • Key result: chapter outline for the first-pass "real" problem is complete by 04/27.
• Objective: Finish the toy problem.
  • Key result: Success is defined by 01/10.
    • Demonstrate that the ground-truth configuration is a local optimum of the chi-squared goodness-of-fit measure.
    • Write a simple local search optimizer that improves goodness-of-fit—no need to go overboard tweaking it, though; a simple demonstration of improvement by geometrical adjustment, splitting, and joining is sufficient.
    • Wrote success definition 01/08--10.
  • Key result: Principled solver meets success criteria by 01/17.
    • Wrote an optimizer and wrapped up toy problem on 01/16.
• Objective: Submit a paper to MICCAI.
  • Key result: Potential paper subjects are defined by 01/17.
    • Subject: Streamline clustering based on chi-squared reconstruction error of coherent structures.
    • Done before 01/17.
  • Key result: Paper draft is ready by 01/27.
  • Key result: Paper is submitted by 03/01.
  • Key result: Additional OKRs for after the submission are defined by 03/02.
  • Can't write the code and the paper in time for the MICCAI deadline (decided 02/17). The rough outline (done before 01/27) is still a good guide though.
• Objective: Upgrade the toy problem to a simple 3-D case.
  • Key result: Clustering objective function is coded up by 01/27.
    • Objective function defined in terms of chi-squared before 01/27, but not implemented.
  • Key result: success defined for clustering contribute by 02/24.
• Objective: Submit a paper to a journal in 2012.
  • Key result: Potential paper subjects are defined by 03/06.
