In the first year, I read many research papers to learn how research in this area is written. If your thoughts are not clear enough, the results are also not comprehensible.įortunately, I had many practices to write out things in a more structured way when I started doing research. It seems like a no-brainer, but in reality, not many researchers I witnessed are able to do this. If I cannot structure my thoughts well, it would be impossible to explain what I did no matter what the result is. The biggest learning I got from the two years of research is that I can set up a hypothesis (an idea), design & execute the experiments to prove it, and write out the results in a form of research paper. However, if it was not for my writing skills that I started accumulating since when I prepared US college admissions, I would not have achieved as much during my postgraduate studies. Of course, there are many aspects that helped me during this time: coding techniques built since I was a teenager, engineering experience from undergraduate, social skills learned during internships and military service, etc. ![]() If someone asks me, “what was the most important skill that helped you to complete your study in graduate school?”, I would not hesitate to say, “ language.” Two years from now, I felt the shortcoming of my own knowledge and decided to dig deeper into the area of machine learning/artificial intelligence by doing postgraduate research. However, after more than ten years I graduated, at the moment that I am wrapping up my two years of MPhil research, I am pondering what it actually is saying. At that time, I simply thought it was a slogan to make us abide by the school’s rule that requires us to speak English and did not put much meaning to it. I shouted this sentence every week during my high school. “Language is not an objective, but a means of studying.” Thoughts on language education in the era of artificial intelligence ![]()
