Course schedule

This course introduces to the technologies of scientific research, to teach the students to present the results of their studies in the format that is acknowledged by other researchers from the field of Machine Learning and Data Analysis. The expected result of the course is a research paper, submitted to a peer-reviewed journal from the list of the Higher Attestation Commission.

• A student is willing to learn to formally state research problems, find adequate references, generate novel and significant ideas for problem solving.
• An advisor helps the student with technical issues, consults the student on topics of machine learning, promptly reacts to arising problems, performs evaluations and grading. Each advisor is supposed to possess sufficient publishing experience. Ideally, the advisor is writing paper on the adjacent topic. It is recommended to organize weekly reviewing process in such way that a student would input the corrections himself.
• An expert guarantees novelty and importance of the paper, suggests the problems, provides data.

Goals

• General: to learn how to convey author's message to the reader in a clear way.
• Practical: to publish a scientific paper, to be welcome in the research society.

Delivery

1. Research paper in a peer-reviewed scientific journal
2. Computational experiment with analysis and code to reproduce it
3. Slides with a brief comprehensive results
4. Video of the presentation speech

Consultations

1. The workflow goes around each week, see Todo list.
2. The iterative consultations and delivery of results are highly welcome! Start during the weekends.
3. Deadline of the last version is: Wednesday 6:00am. The review goes on Wednesday working day.
4. Each symbol A gives +1 according the system (А-, А, А+). No symbol gives A0.
