How to do research"

During my postgraduate studies, I believe everyone was confused at the beginning and did not know what to do or what to do? Even if you know what you want to do, you do not know where to start? I am also confused. The last time the two teachers talked with us, the following is their experience: to a project (subject) --> solution --> problem block --> task details

Not all problems will come to mind at the beginning, but at least there must be a general framework in mind, then refine the module, refine each function, and find a breakthrough.

Search for documents, first find the latest documents, and then find the most cited articles. You can also search for articles such as reviews (survey, review, and research issue) to see if the source code can be found, it can be found better. Generally, the source code is available in the literature algorithms. If the effect is poor, they are also embarrassed to use it for others.

Source of Literature: journals (SCI, EI, SSCI ......) , Seminars (international, domestic, on-campus), Master Thesis, books

Reading the document is also a problem. We need to grasp the overall idea of the document, grasp the key issues, read the summary and conclusions of the paper, and solve the problems that have not been solved. You can search for concepts and algorithms that you do not understand on Viki. However, when we look at the concept, we have to wait for it to come to the end, and we cannot question the concept we don't understand. This is not just a waste of time, but it may be annoying if something goes deep into it, this results in aversion to research. Grasping the key points is the key. Some people ask, what is the key point? For example, if we want to build a bridge, we don't have to know how each screw is made. We just need to know how to use it, where to use it, and how to use it. This is the key. (What? Why? How? Result. Abstract ---> introduction ---> conclusion ---> method. Method: Inputs ------ output procedure)

For algorithms in the literature, you can use MATLAB to simulate and test the algorithm first. This is faster.
