Abstract:
As you probably know, only about one in five SIGGRAPH submissions is actually accepted to the conference. Can anything be done to increase your chances? Absolutely! Over the years, I think I’ve learned quite a few tricks on how to write a successful SIGGRAPH paper. What I’ll do in this talk is share them with you. These “tricks” span a very broad spectrum, from “how to choose the right research topic in the first place” (or even “how to put yourself in the right frame of mind to choose the right research topic”); to how to carry out the research; to how to write each section of the paper, including the rules of grammar and diction that are important for making your paper as legible and your ideas as transparent as possible. In this 90-minute talk, I’ll cover all of these topics and more.
