plan 4.22

Nice day again. I feel very good.

Today I have finished reading several papers on the outliers detection. The KDD'08 paper seems deviant from what I am working on. The SSD staff can be postponed due to the lack of clear research plans. I have gone over the basic Latex and I still need more practice on that. The Openoffice is not easy to use to me. In the future I will use the latex more frequently.

I noticed some changes on myself which really made me happy. I am more willing to exchange research ideas with others, which is partly due to Srini's 788. When I met someone, I would try to talk about what he is currently working on and see if there are anything interesting to me. I wish to share the amazing ideas of my friends' research, and let them know why my research is interesting and challenging. In the past, I seldom did this.

Another story I read today was about the famous general in the ancient China. He was too proud of himself and thought himself superior to others. Finally, he got killed... Their are a lot of such Chinese stories which tells us to be humble and respect others. I should learn more from them. Be a humble researcher.

A bad thing is recently I had less time to work on my English and the 725 course study. A balance should be guaranteed between research and class. A better and flexible schedule must be made to reach this goal.

The left work today includes the materials for tomorrow's 104.5, 108 and 788... I have not finished any homework for tomorrow!! Tomorrow will be another busy day, but I am satisfied with my life and hope I can be what I can be.
