Some Advice given by Prof Chin Teck Chai --- SQ5(Smart Question), Goal Setting

The success belongs to those who catch Oppotunities, esp those chase Oppotunities

The lecturer Prof Chin Teck Chai gave a great talk at class of "Neural and Fuzzy Systems".

He gave some suggestions to be successful:
1.At listening every lecture, attending a party, you must take SQ5

1. One thing I can learn?
   
2. One thing I learn about myself? (self-discovery)
   
3. One thing that impressed me? (intension focus)
   
4. One person who impressed you?
   
5. Three things to do within 36 hours?
   

2. Goal Setting
A person without goal won't be able to get great success.
SMSDAV
S = specific
M = measurable
S = stretched
D = Deadline
A = Action-plan
V = value

Make a positive goal than a negative goal though they may have the same meaning.
Set a model for your goal.

3. How to improve your memory??
Prof. Chin demostrated how to remember random words in a very short time. The way is to map the words into a story, more impressive, more useful.
You can also map the things to some familiar things, e.g. your funitures.

4. 7-layer model of human

Environment
Behavior
Capability

Belief -- Operating system, which connects outside to inside, which you can choose yourself! YOU CAN!

Values
Identies - what is the label of yourself?
Spritity - benefit others

般若波罗蜜多心经

般若波罗蜜多心经

观自在菩萨
行深般若波罗蜜多时
照见五蕴皆空
度一切苦厄

舍利子
色不异空　空不异色
色即是空　空即是色
受想行识　亦复如是

舍利子
是诸法空相　不生不灭
不垢不净　不增不减
是故空中无色　无受想行识
无眼耳鼻舌身意　无色香声味触法
无眼界　乃至无意识界
无无明　亦无无明尽
乃至无老死　亦无老死尽
无苦集灭道　无智亦无得
以无所得故

菩提萨陲 　依般若波罗蜜多故
心无挂碍
无挂碍故　无有恐怖
远离颠倒梦想
究竟涅盘
三世诸佛　依般若波罗蜜多故
得阿耨多罗　三藐三菩提

故知
般若波罗蜜多
是大神咒
是大明咒
是无上咒
是无等等咒
能除一切苦　真实不虚
故说般若波罗蜜多咒

即说咒曰
揭谛揭谛　波罗揭谛　波罗僧揭谛
菩提萨婆诃

Research Time

Just pass by Dr. Man's room, then have a talk with him. He gives me some advices:

• First year u have to read 100-200 papers.
  
• Not like undergraduate, be critical to the papers, find the short-comings to improve, don't believe in papers totally
  
• Everyday go to library one to read everything, to open your mind.
  
• Work hard, and make a good schedule everyday.
  
• Do the job and solve problems yourself, don't rely on your supervisor
  

模糊神经网络

模糊控制的特长在于能够充分利用学科领域的知识，能以一定的规则数来表达知识具有逻辑推理能力，在技能处理上比较擅长。模糊技术不仅能处理精确信息，也能处理模糊信息或其它不明确信息，能实现精确性联想及映射。其缺点是完全依赖专家制定的大量控制规则，不具备学习功能。人工神经网络具有非线性描述、大规模并行分布处理能力及高度鲁棒性和学习与联想等特点，适用于非线性时变大系统的模拟与在线控制。它在认知处理、模式识别方面有很强的优势。主要缺点是结构难以确定，训练样本要求多且准确，训练周期长，而且不能提供一个明确的用于网络知识表达的框架。

模糊神经网络是为发挥各自的优势把人工神经网络和模糊控制进行有机结合。利用人工神经网络技术来进行模糊信息处理，可使得模糊规则的自动提取及模糊隶属函数的自动生成成为可能。从而，克服神经网络结构难以确定以及模糊控制无自学习能力的缺点，使模糊系统成为一种自适应的模糊系统。

NTU vs. NUS Dragonboat Competition

It is really sad that NUS win....

Bill Gates Live!

I went to attend the Bill Gates live last friday(30th July). This is really a great experience. There are three main sessions in the whole talk.
The first one is Bill’s talk. It is my first time to meet who is the richest person. At the talk, it is really quiet at the seats; maybe everyone wants to get some hints from him to achieve success. He shows 10 big trends in the next 10 years. Well, for me, the part for me maybe is service-oriented architecture. He says that the architecture skills are most important in the area of software engineering. The second one is a Microsoft demonstrator. He demonstrates the Microsoft Visual Studio, .Net framework, Microsoft Home Theater Edition, the most-invested Longhorn Operating System. These products are really worth to expected. The third talk is given by Mr. Sim Wong Hoo, who is the CEO of Creative Technology. He is really humorous, and gives a great talk about how a company can survive and win. He says, risk, risk, then you can reach the Jackpot. You must pay price before you get something.

Key Developments in the next 10 years:

• Performance of “Wintel” hardware
  
• Digital Workstyle, lifestyle
  
• Wireless, portable, tablet, phone
  
• Service-oriented architecture
  
• Software Breakthroughs
  
• Digitization of life
  

The new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition can be downloaded at http://msdn.microsoft.com/express.

Creative: how? Push to, force to.

• Take calculated rish
  
• Be very, very focus
  
• Be very lean
  
• Only commit to your dream!
  

Risk, Risk … then you can hit the Jackpot!!

How CHEAT(create huge excessive technology)?

• Don’t follow rules set by others.
  
• Play by your own rules.
  
• Set your own rules whenever possible.
  
• Throw road blocks behind you.
  
• Be tenacious.
  
• Convert bad things to good things,
  Eg. When having software bugs, see them as a future update feature.
  
• Blame others.
  Eg. Blame the OSes for all your bugs.
  
• It is also called Sexed-up marketing.
  

Prepare to pay the price.

Bring some value to somebody.
