深圳学长参加美国科研感想

      美国科研总结

　　When I got on the plane to New York, I finally realized that this precious one month research experience has ended, but from another perspective, it is continuing in its finest way. This research experience will not only become an experience that will stand in the corner of my mind, waiting for someone or something in the future to drag this memory out, but also a continuous project that can help me in the future, no matter academically or personally.

　　当我登上飞往纽约的飞机时，我终于意识到这个珍贵的一个月的研究经验已经结束，但从另一个角度来看，它正在以最好的方式继续下去。这一研究经验不仅将成为一种站在我心目中的经验，等待着未来的某个人或某物把这个记忆拖出去，而且是一个能在将来帮助我的连续的项目，无论是学术上还是个人上。

　　The experience started when my plane from Hong Kong landed in Boston. Boston is a very beautiful city, there is a big river right between Boston and Cambridge. The view when I was on the bridge is magnificent. Because I come from Shenzhen, a city with no significant river, the reflection of city through the surface of river is like a completely new scene for me, a scene that can only show up in the movies.

　　当我从香港起飞的飞机降落在波士顿时，体验开始了。波士顿是一个非常美丽的城市，在波士顿和剑桥之间有一条大河。我在桥上的景色很壮观。因为我来自深圳，一个没有重要河流的城市，城市通过河流表面的映照对我来说就像是一个全新的场景，一个只能在电影中出现的场景。

　　Initially, I’d like to talk more about what I did and what I learned in this month. On the first Monday, I am required to do an introduction to others about myself. It is a good opportunity for me to introduce myself to others, practice my skill of presentation, and understand the whole process of presentation and cooperation. Each days we will meet with each other students, present our current progress and let other students advice me to do my presentation and my project better. On the first day I met with Prof. G, the leading figure of our research projects. Prof. G is very passionate about his project and his students, no matter they are new to the field of computer science, or have dived into this field for their bachelor and master years. For me, a student who happens to be in the upper middle of the spectrum, was asked more strickedly by Prof. G, for he believes that if I can put my strength into the domain that haven’t been explored by others, I can make some brand new progress, generate some new way of solving problems. For me, the research topic is finding out abnormal activities that involves both cars and people in a dense complex scene. It is an area that has been heavily researched but no satisfied solution has been given out. Students with me are very good at giving valuable advice for each others, they are good at finding new perspective to the problem and give out advices that are easily ignored by people who has spend weeks on the project. They are also very helpful on things other than academic. They heartily drag me into this big family, talk to me, help me to familiar with the campus of universtiy, help me to familiar with the city called Boston. It was a valuable and also fun time that I spent with them.

　　首先，我想谈谈我在这个月做了什么，学到了什么。在第一个星期一，我被要求做一个关于我自己的介绍。这是一个很好的机会，让我向他人介绍我自己，练习我的演讲技巧，理解演讲和合作的整个过程。我们每天都会和同学们见面，呈现我们现在的进步，让其他同学建议我做我的演讲和我的项目更好。第一天，我会见了G教授，我们研究项目的主要人物。G教授对他的项目和她的学生非常热爱，不管他们是计算机科学领域的新手，还是他们的学士学位和硕士学位。对我来说，一个恰好在光谱中层的学生，被G教授更严厉地问过，因为他相信如果我能把自己的力量投入到别人尚未探索的领域，我就能取得一些新的进展，产生一些新的解决问题的方法。对我来说，研究的主题是发现异常活动，涉及汽车和人在一个密集的复杂场景。这是一个已被广泛研究的领域，但没有给出满意的解决方案。和我在一起的学生非常善于给彼此提供有价值的建议，他们善于发现问题的新视角，并给出那些在项目上花费数周时间的人很容易忽视的建议。他们对学术以外的事物也很有帮助。他们衷心地把我拉进这个大家庭，与我交谈，帮助我熟悉大学的校园，帮助我熟悉这个叫做波士顿的城市。这是一个宝贵的和有趣的时间，我花了他们。

　　One of the biggest surprise that I found here is that the main way of learning is definitively not attending classes, for we didn’t have one formal class for this entire month. For people like me that have some foundation in computer science, the main way of learning is actually through reading academic papers—yes, papers that contains a lot of math symbols and long paragraphs of words that may contribute nothing to what I am currently doing—because academic papers are always the easiest and fastest way to track the state-of-art in the field that I am focusing on. During the procedure of learning, Dr. L taught me the way of catch the important points in academic papers, which is looking throughly at the abstract. This is extremely helpful to me, for I need not to read through the whole paper to find out whether this is the paper I want to find.

　　我在这里发现的最大一个惊喜是，主要的学习方式是不去上课，因为我们整个月没有一个正式的课程。对于像我这样在计算机科学有一定基础的人来说，主要的学习方法是通过阅读学术论文，是的，包含很多数学符号和长段落的文章，这些论文可能对我目前做的没有任何贡献，因为学术论文E总是最容易和最快的方式来跟踪我所关注的领域的艺术状态。在学习过程中，L博士教给了我在学术论文中抓住重点的方法。这对我非常有帮助，因为我不需要阅读整个论文来找出这是否是我想要找到的论文。

　　This valuable research experience not only improved my research ability and experience, but also did I learnt a lot beside the academic side. I learned the importance of cooperation, the importance of listening to other’s advice at here. Even though those ideas appeared to me long before this experience, it is from this experience that I finally realize the importance of such qualities. At the begining of my researching, I sunk into the effort trying to build my own theory from zero. It is very fun indeed, to try to find the solution of problem from the most basic idea and knowledge, and the felling of making progress at the begining is also very exciting for me. Thanks for Prof. G, who repetitively remind the importance of jump out of this circle, step into my own path. She taught me the importance of innovation and creativity that they should not only be innovation and creativity for me, but also for others, that I should learn more, step on the shoulder of the giants, to explore the new path that no one had every stepped into.

　　这宝贵的研究经验不仅提高了我的研究能力和经验，而且我在学术方面也学到了很多东西。在这里我学到了合作的重要性，倾听别人的建议的重要性。尽管这些想法在我很久以前就出现在我身上，但正是从这次经历中，我终于意识到了这些品质的重要性。在我研究的开始，我沉溺于试图从零开始构建我自己的理论。从最基本的想法和知识中寻找问题的解决方法确实是非常有趣的，而且在开始的时候取得进步的感觉对我来说也是非常令人兴奋的。感谢G教授，他反复提醒跳出这个圈子的重要性，迈进我自己的道路。他教会了我创新和创造力的重要性，他们不仅要为我创新和创造，而且要为别人，我应该学习更多，踏踏实实地站在巨人的肩膀上，探索没有人进入的新的道路。

　　Looking back at this experience, I must say that it is a valuable experience that I received much more than I expected. I met new people from many different place, learn from them, have fun with them. After this one month research experience, I will not stop my research, but extend it into my daily life and continuing report my progress to Professor G. Last but not least, I want to specially thank to my household family, who are very responsible and did a great job looking after me.

　　回首这段经历，我必须说，这是一个宝贵的经历，我得到的远远超出我的预期。我从不同的地方认识新的人，向他们学习，和他们一起玩。经过这一个月的研究经验，我不会停止我的研究，而是把它延伸到我的日常生活中，并继续向G教授报告我的进展。最后但并非最不重要的，我要特别感谢我的家庭家庭，谁是非常负责，并做了很好的工作照顾我。

　　Thank you for all the people that took part in this unforgettable one month experience.

　　感谢所有参加这个难忘的一个月经历的人。
