O happy day
Jan. 21st, 2005 11:10 amI have a conference paper due today. Save for Example 2 (which is still heroically chugging away in MATLAB, writing data to files) and for my advisor's edits, it... is... DONE!
OK, so in a large way, it's nowhere near done. But all the parts I was really procrastinating on writing? Done. The rest is cake.
Now, the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a top-tier AI conference. I really don't expect to have it accepted. (The American Association for Artificial Intelligence rejected a similar paper, although this one has less math, so maybe they'll like it better.) It's interdisciplinary work, so it's typically gotten a pretty hostile reception from the AI folks. (The aero folks, though, say, "Oooo, shiny AI!" and love it, or at least don't dismiss it.)
Still! Writing papers is never a waste of time, particularly when you can later crib large sections of said paper for your dissertation.
