Take away from "Lessons from My First Two Years of AI Research"

Just read an interesting post at Lessons from My First Two Years of AI Research. Some takeaways:
- First advice: write
- Invest in visualization.
- There are 3 perspectives on AI motivations: math, engineering and bio.
- 3 ways to get research ideas:

  1. Talk to a researcher in a different field.
  2. Code a simple baseline to get a feel for a problem.
  3. Extend the experiments section of a paper you like.
My personal lesson: I do not need to think about a problem all the time but I need to avoid all distractions.
