Update time again
Dec. 8th, 2006 05:44 pmTime for another update.
Research is proceeding slowly but surely. Paper #1 first draft is complete and has been reviewed so next week I will take the comments and revise the paper before putting it back into review. Meanwhile, paper #2 is about 50% done, now that, in the process of writig it, I came up with yet another metric that has not yet been used by other researchers*, something called specificity. Means nothing to y'all, but I will, at least, find it really useful. Paper #2 will be reviewed while Paper #1 is edited, then we switch.
After Christmas break I present my research to the group to assage the constant questions of "what has he been doing here all this time" (meaning my holing up in my protected inner office). Should be fun. Really. I rather enjoy giving presentations. Then I get a conference paper put together covering what I've done to that point for the Robot Vision conference in Montreal in late May.
Meanwhile, the Christmas lunch the social committee put together for the Institute turned out extremely well. Praise is being handed down to us from various group leaders with questions of "so, what'cha got for us next?". Back to planning, but that is for the New Year. Meanwhile, I'm trying to write while practically falling asleep after a good, big lunch. With wine. Did I mention it was a good meal?
For those who don't know, Phase I of my PhD dissertation involves designing a suite of metrics to measure the quality of... measurements. Seems redundant to quantify the quality of measurements, but this is a important component of my research.
