1) read like a book.

Like reading a textbook, consider and read word by word. This kind of reading is not only a waste of time, but also a paper with 10 pages will take several days to read, and its thinking is rigid. Tao Yuanming wrote "Biography of Mr. Wuliu" to describe himself: "Good at reading, not seeking for a very understanding; Every time I know something, I am so happy that I forget to eat. " It means that reading only seeks to understand the general idea, and does not deliberately work hard on the text. Without "painstaking efforts", haste makes waste, and lawlessness is not beautiful.

2) Fast scanning reading

This is the other extreme. I only know the meaning of the paper and read a lot. I am busy every day, but I have few papers on my back.

3) Off topic reading

Many students easily go astray when reading papers, pay attention to some unimportant details and abandon the original intention of reading.

For example, if you read a paper on supervised learning, the method used involves secondary optimization. If you are not familiar with this optimization problem, you will find a thick optimization textbook and want to understand this problem from beginning to end. Although you don't do optimization theory research, if your

Life is infinitely long, and this studious spirit deserves praise! The problem is that under the limited time, it is impossible for everyone to be known by Baidu.

Ancient scholars in China classified the methods of reading into four categories, namely, books for treating eyes, mouth, heart and hands.

The so-called books for treating eye diseases mean that some books can only be read once; Oral therapy books refer to some books or chapters, that is, reading and memorizing; The book of psychotherapy refers to some books or important places, not only to recite, but also to think and learn; The manual ruler refers to some books, and the important contents should be written down to help you remember.

The correct reading roadmap is: first browse the papers and get a general understanding of the research problems, assumptions, main ideas and solutions.

If the technology is related to the research field, read it again from the beginning, carefully scrutinize the content of the paper, and learn relevant skills and theoretical knowledge.

If you are interested in a topic related to the research field, read critically and get the advantages and disadvantages of the paper;

Further thinking may go beyond the researchers' work in those areas. Finally, make a good record of the literature.

1) quickly understand the paper you read through the structure of the paper.

A good paper should follow the principle of top-down and tell the story of the Lord.

Before the implementation details of ideas and methods, it is helpful for readers to describe high-level concepts and methods clearly.

A) For the abstract and introduction, read 15 minutes quickly and have a basic understanding of the research questions. If the research question has nothing to do with your research field, give up immediately;

B) If you are interested in the technical part, you can give up the rest after learning the technology.

2) Spend less than 30% time reading and more than 70% time thinking.

A) think critically

Criticality means that when reading a paper, the author should not be allowed to hold his own ideas. Whenever the author puts forward a hypothesis and gives a solution, does the hypothesis condition hold? Are the questions raised reasonable? Are there any defects in the solution?

Therefore, if you choose a well-written article (after determining the research topic), you should experiment with real data (limited to most engineering backgrounds in our school). At this point, you will find that the experimental results of most papers are not as good as expected. Through experiments, we can think about why the effect is not good. be

What caused the mistake? Under what conditions will it get better?

B) creative thinking

You have a research question in front of you. Others already have a solution. Can you think of better updates and different solutions?

China's education method makes children accustomed to passive acceptance, and only does exercises in textbooks according to the instructions given by teachers or family members. Get used to thinking from another angle and train your creative thinking ability;

3) Do a good job in the catalogue and classification records of the papers you have read.

Preserving and making an annotated bibliography is an academic training. To develop this training habit, the most effective way is to take notes while reading the literature, and then start reading new literature after recording.

One thing that successful researchers have is to constantly update the knowledge of relevant literature. Most of them have core documents from 100 to 150. This system includes major schools of thought and important researchers in all related fields, and provides research models and samples.

A) the basic contents of the file directory record

Basic information of bibliography; Date of reading the document

What kind of hammer (method) is used to solve what kind of problems and nails, what contribution is there, what interesting/important/puzzling places are there, and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

It's better to have one in Chinese and one in English, so as to copy and paste later.

B) the benefits of establishing a bibliography

Can help you return to your thinking process;

Can reflect how mature your reading and thinking are:

Can help you recall the key points in the bibliography without having to read it again:

It is very helpful to reread the literature and then write down the records;

Bibliography can easily sort out the main scholars in this field;

Bibliography can prevent rereading documents with interesting names without price;

Most importantly, bibliography can speed up the time of writing introduction and frontier introduction when writing papers.
