Today! Today!
This is a productive day.
The happiness comes from the everyday life.

This weekend...
Struggle for the end of the quarter~!

So,
this
weekend,
I
has
a
lot
of
work
to
do
.
I
will
be
damned
busy
in
the
following
two
days
~~

The schedule for this weekend.
The code for the dyadic outlier detection. I just finished the algorithm and will revise it based on a previous version.

Experimental results.

English writing. Style manual for the composition class. This is not very urgent. But I suspect I will have no time for this next week. So I will try to start this weekend.

The second draft for the final long paper.

Record the sound for the special English pronuciation class. (Boring)

Prepare for the exit interview. ( I hate this! )

Presentation preparation for the 788. (next Tuesday)

plan 5.28, research! & results!

1. Can I visualize the generated data?

2. What is the significance of the proposed work? Could you find some other applications? Could you find the difference between the previous approaches, such as the clutering, normal outlier detection, and two variable outlier detection in statistics.

3. Implement the algorithm.

plan 5.27

The first homework in Latex is done! Congratulations.

Today, I will
1. Have a good rest. I am so busy now. (5)

2. Research project. Meet advisor tomorrow. Design and implement the algorithm. (4)

3. Read something about the co-clustering, and the semi-clustering papers.

4. Study how to insert the figures in latex, and the tabbing issues.

5. Write one annotation for 788. (4.5)

plan 5.25

Today, I just finished the data generation for the research project. Later I will have a look at this.

1. Work on the homework 725 when I am home. (4)

2. Wash the clothes (5.1 !!)

3. 788 paper reading and annotation writing. (4.5)

4. Composition writing

plan 5.24

The simulator is still running.. I misestimated the situation.

Today, I will do a lot of interesting things:

1. The use of latex on the homework

2. Learn Python and see how to write the script using it

3. Work on the composition and record the English

summary 5.23

A nice and productive day.

1. I finished the script and got it running on stdsun. Tomorrow I can get the dataset for the project.

2. The script is not very convinient on processing the texts. I have to get familiar to the Python and use it to write the scripts in the future.

3. Finish one annotation today.

plan 5.22

Today,
1. Generate the data.

2. Try mysql today. We can use the join to get the needed data. lolo...

3. Write one annotation for 788, and submit the English composition.

plan 5.21

I am making progress on research now! Go on!

a nice song

I heard this so many times in college. One of my roommates often played this. Now I really missed him.
A link for the song: http://yuhong.hbsz.cn/music/UploadFiles_7909/zheli.mp3

请允许我尘埃落定用沉默埋葬了过去满身风雨我从海上来才隐居在这沙漠里该隐瞒的事总清晰千言万语只能无语爱是天时地利的迷信喔原来你也在这里啊那一个人是不是只存在梦境里为什么我用尽全身力气却换来半生回忆若不是你渴望眼睛若不是我救赎心情在千山万水人海相遇喔原来你也在这里

summary 5.20

1. Tomorrow I have two presentations. Cheer up!

2. I already got some initial ideas about the experimental data. Hope it will work.

3. Have fun

4. Read the two papers I need to present tomorrow. I am too slow now and need to summarize 6 other papers together.

about research

Sigh, I cannot find a proper motivating example; what I have done seems meaningless.

An ideal dataset for the proposed method in dyadic outlier mining should satisfy the following property:
1. High dimensionality

2. The attributes are independent

Where is it?

plan 5.19

These days I am sooooo busy.
I am trying to change my life style these days. The life is worth enjoying. So many interesting things are there.

1. I will go on to work on the Dyadic mining project tonight.

2. The presentation for the day after tomorrow. (tomorrow)

3. The 725 book reading. (tomorrow)

4. ...

plan 5.14

In the following 3 days, I will work full time on the research project.

plan 5.13

1. Yesterday, a girl talked about the secret of success when eating supper. From that conversation, I figured out two kind of people are difficult to survive. One is too stupid, the other is too clever. The first kind is unable to do the jobs, while the second kind is too clever to do those boring tasks. However, without these boring foundations, one can never succeed.
Fortunately, most of us do not belong to the two extremes. We should be confident about ourselves.

The to-do list today:
1. Prepare for the presentation tomorrow.

2. Prepare for the presentation tomorrow.

3. Prepare for the presentation tomorrow.

5.12

Today, I got a lot of fun by playing with linux!

Be attention that the $PATH should be set in the /etc/environment file.

The scripts in Linux is fantastic!

I will play the badminton soon and start preparing the presentation tonight.

plan 5.11

This must be a busy week. I must try to survive it.

1. I need to assign time for my reading every week. Three times a week:
a. Monday 4pm-6pm

c. Saturday afternoon 2pm-6pm
If I do not do so, I will never have time to read the books I need.

2. Prepare for the presentation for this Thursday. (3 hours)
This is such a difficult paper. maybe the most difficult one I had ever read...
However, I must understand it today and starting preparing for the slides for it. Beside, the project.. Give a outline of the algorithm.

3. Read the papers for tomorrow's presentation. (3hours)

3. Do not try to do all. Accumulate little by little.

2. Finish reading the MapReduce paper.

3. Research about the lsh.

plan 5.1

Change of plan:
Today I want to read some influential system papers from the industries. Two papers are selected. One is about MapReduce: "J. Dean and S. Ghemawat, MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters, OSDI'04". The other is about BigTable: "F. Chang and et al., Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data, OSDI'06". Further comments will be added at the end of the day.

Plan today:

1. Finish reading the textbook 725. Read the notes.
2. The code for global trees. Talk with Brian about this.
3. The annotation writing for 788 and composition.
4. Read ACL papers and the OSDI04, 06.

I did not have the time to read the Bigtable today. I will read it tomorrow.
The mapreduce is a interesting model about parallel computing. The concepts seemed easy to understand and use, but the amazing part to me is the fault tolerance, load balancing and task scheduling. I just read half of this paper, and I will continue read this and the critics about Mapreduce.
