Writing a Paper:

Book:

1. Academic Writing for Engineering Publications -- A Guide for Non-native English Speakers

Data Visualization:

Explore Viz Technique:

1. https://datavizcatalogue.com:
   • Search for technique based on functions, and detailed breakdown with descriptions and elements
2. https://datavizproject.com:
   • less functions
   • but it provides a sense of input and detailed examples

Stock Resources (Images):

• as long as cited
• Photos: https://unsplash.com

LaTex:

Jack's Setup:

• Local Editor ($-one-time): Texifier

• Online Collaboration (free-student): Overleaf

• Reference Manager (free-local-plan): Zotero

  • Chrome Reference Plug-In (free): Zotero-Chrome ---> automatically download, OCR and stub bib reference to a paper / pdf
  • Zotero-Better-Bibtex ---> auto generate bibtex from a category to a local specified .bib file

• Plug-in to make better notes in Zotero: https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-better-notes/blob/master/UserGuideCN.md

• IPE: https://github.com/otfried/ipe for latex Draw

  LatexDraw is a bit sad to use, and I was recommended to use IPE

Work-Flow:

1. Create Overleaf Project for Online collaboration
2. link Overleaf with GitHub, and create a private repository for the project report
3. Git clone the project to local
4. Create a category in Zotero
5. Create auto-export to the .bib file with better-bibtex
6. Commit your work to GitHub
7. Pull latest main branch from GitHub onto Overleaf Online Project

Template:

1. IEEE Journal + Jack's Modification for Glossaries and Natbib: link

Research More Efficiently:

Greatest Tools:

General:

1. ResearchRabbit: You can find relevant paper with graphical representation
2. Paper with Code: You can find paper with code: github and public dataset ranking board + clustered papers and the original paper of particular hot topics
3. Open Review: Open Review on public submitted papers
4. Connected Papers: Visualize all related papers in a graph diag

ML related:

1. NEURIPS ANTHOLOGY VISUALIZATION: Here, you got clustered ML papers on Neuralips
2. Distill: Public Articles on understanding algorithms and ML models with visual aids

MPC:

• MPT3 Matlab toolbox: https://www.mpt3.org
• Faster Non-linear Solver: https://www.gurobi.com/solutions/gurobi-optimizer/

Topical:
