AI Seminar Intro

As mentioned in my first blog post New Beginnings, I’m inscribed to a course named “AI Seminar”. In this course, each student is expected to read a paper of their choice. We will go through understanding writing style, understanding content, reviewing and criticizing a paper, evaluating yourself oneself and have a final presentation.

Why I have chosen this seminar

I have not touched on that many results of scientific work. This course is ideal to fix that for me. We will discuss in person and work through a paper in depth. I feel like this is something that will always be handy to have experienced regarding my future career, even if I would never write a paper. But since I’m inscribed in this seminar, I may even would feel comfortable writing a paper.

That the papers we read are supposed to be in the field of AI is also something adding to my motivation to choose this seminar as my specialization is Data Science. Meaning I can learn about some AI methods that I am interested in anyway. So, two flies with one clap.

My learning goals

My learning goals pretty much align with the course description. So I want to learn about scientific writing, what a good paper is about and get familiar with a topic of my interest.

1. I want to know in detail how the process of writing scientific papers is like and hear from an expert that has experience in this.
2. I want to try criticizing a paper and get feedback.
3. I want to refine my writing skills.
4. I want to get to know the method explained in my chosen paper in detail.
5. I want to establish a regular blogging habit beyond this seminar.
6. I want to share my learning process and gain insights how others do doing the same.
