CVPR07 is so so for me this time, and only two papers were accepted. But I am happy that my 60-th paper comes as "Element Rearrangment for Tensor Based Learning", CVPR'07. I still remember that my 40-th paper came as a ECCV'06 paper, and it is about fourteen months ago when I worked in Hong Kong.

 

What can I conclude from these 60 papers?

 

1. Many guys often have exciting conclusions after a period of research, and even build models on how to prepare for an excellent paper. But here I would like to share a somewhat abjective opinion: paper acceptance is a radom process, at least for relatively senior but not highly senior researchers. The facts often validate this abjective opinion. I often encourage Huanzi that we only need believe our work is excellent, and can be accepted by top conference sooner or later :-)

 

2. After having stayed in Tom's group for eleven months, I am trying to change my research style from publication-driven to application-driven.  If the research is only for paper, what is the value and why should we do it?

 

There are much much more that I would like to share, but the ICCV deadline is coming. Let me continue after the 70-th paper.
