TISS

Course

This seminar, previously known as the Seminary on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, is now titled Seminary on Computer Vision. It is conducted in English by Robert Sablatnig and Marco Peer during the winter term. The course will be held in person in the Winter Semester 2024/25.

Motivation for the Course

Effective written or oral communication is essential in most graduate positions, whether in the business or scientific fields. The ability to present one’s work successfully depends on well-developed communication skills. These skills are crucial when writing a thesis, whether it is a bachelor’s or a master’s thesis, as the quality of the writing is essential, and so is the oral defense of the thesis. In the specific context of international scientific conferences, many more papers and presentations could be accepted if the way they were presented was improved.

Aims and Objectives

This course is designed to enhance student’s ability to develop and organize ideas, as well as to effectively prepare documents and presentations. The focus is on scientific communication, encompassing the presentation of scientific findings and hypotheses in primary literature, reviews, popular publications, and conference presentations.

The primary goal of the course is to improve student’s communication skills and foster an understanding of scientific communication. The specific objectives include:

  • Enhancing communication skills
  • Emphasizing scientific communication in both written and oral forms
  • Understanding how scientific communication is conducted in workshops, conferences, and journals

Additional goals involve training graduate and PhD students to:

  • Access information on various topics, such as research results and conference details, from paper-based publications and online sources
  • Write and defend bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD theses
  • Write informative abstracts, extended abstracts, and articles for submission to international conferences and publications, addressing both language and content requirements
  • Make effective presentations in a scientific context

Contents

Topics include discussion and review of different kinds of publications such as theses, articles, survey articles, books, abstracts, etc.

Writing exercises (dealing with content and language) will include the student’s informative abstracts, extended abstracts, and papers.

Topic: Document Analysis

Find 2 or 3 papers that address a specific problem within this area and compare them in terms of their methodology, parameters, and results. It is also possible that you will work on a related topic relevant to your bachelor’s, master’s, or PhD thesis. The topic you will be working on will be defined in the second lesson.
