• chi tiết p2 thực hiện.

Bước 05 (Experiment)

• gồm bao nhiêu thực nghiệm, mỗi thực nghiệm gồm những gì?
• cách thức thực hiện cho từng thực nghiệm.
• kết quả đạt được ra sao? (sơ lược)

Bước 06 (Result)

• kết quả đạt được sau mỗi exp thế nào?
• mô tả và diễn giải kết quả đạt được
• tóm gọn kết quả tốt thế nào?
• so sánh kết quả đạt được?

Bước 07 (Conclusion)

• trình bày lại vấn đề?
• bài báo thực hiện những gì?
• so sánh đánh giá kết quả
• công việc tương lai sẽ làm gì?

Bước 08 (Abstract)

• vấn đề của bài toán
• dùng phương pháp gì? giải quyết được vấn đề gì?
• kết quả đạt được là gì?

How to read paper

Section 1- Choose Wisely: Selecting the Right Paper (List)

Before diving into the depths of a research paper, it’s crucial to select papers relevant to your interests or research goals. Look for papers published in reputable journals, and consider the author’s expertise and the paper’s citation count. This preliminary filtering ensures that your time is invested in papers with credible information.The f irst pass gives you a general idea about the paper

Create a curated list of research paper blogs and related resources to streamline your study [1] First, compile a list of papers, and by papers, I mean both research papers often posted on archives or on the internet, but also plus medium post, what- maybe some occasional GitHub post, although those are r, but whatever text or learning resources you have [1]. Read a set of papers, which is maybe you initially start off with five papers Read 10% of each paper or try to quickly skim and understand each of these papers. And if based on that, you decide that paper number 2 is a Good, right?, you skip around the different papers, you might decide that paper 3 is a really seminal one and then spend a lot of time to go ahead and read and understand the whole thing. if you read 5 to 20 papers you will get a basic understanding of the area if you read 50 to 100 papers then you will get a very good understanding of the areas Do not go from the first word and read until the last word Read the section and sub-section headings, but ignore everything else

Section 2- Scan Title, Abstracts, and Summaries First (Scan)

The abstract is your key to understanding the paper’s main objectives, methods, and conclusions. Begin by reading the abstract and any executive summaries, if available. This will give you a bird’s-eye view of the paper, helping you decide whether it aligns with your interests and goals.

Read the title for a quick context, the abstract for a summary, and examine figures to grasp visual representation [1]and skip the related work.

At the end of the first pass, you should be able to answer the five Cs [2]:

1. Category: What type of paper is this? A measurement paper? An analysis of an existing system? A description of a research prototype?
2. Context: Which other papers is it related to? Which theoretical bases were used to analyze the problem? 3. Correctness: Do the assumptions appear to be valid?
3. Contributions: What are the paper’s main contributions?
4. Clarity: Is the paper well written?

Section 3- Understand the Structure: Breaking Down Sections

Research papers typically follow a standard structure: introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. Familiarize yourself with these sections to grasp the paper’s flow and organization. Understanding this structure makes it easier to locate specific information and follow the author’s logical progression.

Section 4- Crack the Code: Deciphering Jargon and Abbreviations

Academic writing is notorious for its use of complex language and specialized terminology. Make use of online resources, glossaries, and dictionaries to decode unfamiliar terms. Take the time to jot down and understand abbreviations commonly used in your field of interest. This initial effort will pay off in the long run as you encounter similar terms across various papers. Sometimes you won’t understand a paper even at the end of the second pass. This may be because the subject matter is new to you, with unfamiliar terminology and acronyms [2].

Section 5- Focus

Read the introduction to understand the problem context and the conclusions for key takeaways [1]. Read the introduction, conclusion, and Figures and skip the reset

Section 6- Deep Dive into the Methodology

Understanding the methodology is crucial as it outlines how the research was conducted. Take note of the study design, sample size, data collection methods, and statistical analyses used. A clear grasp of the methodology helps you evaluate the study’s validity and reliability, providing a solid foundation for interpreting the results.

Section 7- Navigate the Results Section: Tables and Figures

Results are often presented through tables and figures. Learn to interpret these visual aids, as they convey complex information more efficiently than lengthy paragraphs. Pay attention to the patterns, trends, and statistical significance indicated in the visuals, and cross-reference them with the accompanying text.

Section 8- Join the Discussion: Unpacking the Findings

The discussion section is where the author interprets the results and relates them to existing literature. Evaluate the author’s arguments, identifying strengths and weaknesses in their reasoning. Consider alternative interpretations and implications, fostering a critical mindset that contributes to your own understanding.

By comparing this re-creation with the actual paper, you can easily identify not only a paper’s innovations but also its hidden failings and assumptions [2].

Section 9- Read Citations and References

A paper’s bibliography can serve as a goldmine for additional resources. Check the references to explore related studies and gain a deeper understanding of the context. This not only enhances your knowledge but also provides a trail of breadcrumbs for further research.

Section 10- Take Notes and Summarize

As you read, jot down key points, questions, and your own reflections. Creating concise summaries of each section helps reinforce your understanding and serves as a handy reference when revisiting the paper later.

Section 11- Engage in Active Learning: Discuss and Share

Learning doesn’t end with reading. Actively engage with the material by discussing it with peers, joining academic forums, or even presenting the findings in a study group. Sharing perspectives enhances your understanding and introduces you to different interpretations.

Section 12- Try to answer the Questions

When you read the paper then try to answer these Questions

What are the key elements of the approach? What can you use yourself? What other usefulness you do you want to follow?

Section 13- Go All-In

Read everything, skipping the math and unclear or less relevant parts, initially and revisit them in subsequent passes [1]

Conclusion

Mastering the art of reading research papers is a skill that pays dividends in academia and beyond. By following these steps, you can confidently navigate through the intricate web of scientific literature, unlocking the wealth of knowledge hidden within each paper. Remember, patience and practice are key, so start small and gradually build your expertise. Happy reading!
