Two things:


  • what you should get out from the paper

  • where that information is located in the paper

Answer the questions by reading a paper


  • What are the motivations for this work? (introduction)

  • What is the proposed solution? (hypothsis or idea) (introduction,
    conclusion)

  • What is the work’s evaluation of the proposed solution?

  • What is your analysis of the identified problem, idea and evolution?

  • What are the contributions? (ideas, software, experimental techniques,
    area survey)

  • What are future directions for this research? (conclusion)

  • What questions are you left with?

  • What is your take-away messages from this paper?

be aware of the context of the paper in relation to other papers


write an abstract by self


take time to write down questions


advice on note taking: annotating on the paper directly


  • highlight important comments as you go.

  • mark the important paragraphs of the paper: motivation/problem,
    ides/solution, evaluation, contributions.

  • on the front of the paper, write down the take-away message.

  • on the front of the paper, or near the end, write down your
    questions.

  • try to answers for yourself, by Google.

自然语言处理一些读书笔记和自己的思考。

在知乎上搜索相关问题,有人推荐<数学之美>,之前粗略看过一次,这次想重新看一下并且做个读书笔记.下面是关于自然语言理解方面的一些读书笔记和自己的思考. 一. 自然语言处理历史: 自然语言处理最初发展的20多年里,相关科学家都极力通过电脑模拟人脑,试图用这种方式来处理人类语言,但是这种方式被证明是行不通的,成功几乎为零.NLP发展的第二阶段是70年代之后,科学家们终于找到了基于数学模型和统计的方法. 第一阶段的时候,学术界对人工智能和自然语言理解的普遍认识是:要让机器完成翻译或者语音识别等等,必
