# Research Challenges You will engage in a critical discussion about the challenges and progress of your ongoing projects. This activity aims to encourage reflection, problem-solving, and strategic thinking about your research directions. 1. Please discuss the following topics within your team for 15 minutes 2. Prepare a 5-minute presentation summarizing your discussion. 3. Submit your slides to \[Assignments → Exercises → **Research Challenges**] in Canvas. ### Topic/Task Changes * Describe your original topic/task and how it has evolved. * Explain the reasons for any changes in research direction. * Reflect on what you'd do differently when selecting future research topics. ### Approach Feasibility * Evaluate the feasibility of your current approach to produce meaningful results by the semester's end. * Detail your methods, including data, algorithms, models, and computing resources. * If needed, propose revisions to make your project more feasible. ### Impact and Contributions * Compare your original expected contributions with your current goals. * Based on your comprehensive literature survey, identify what additional work might be needed for potential publication in top-tier conferences. ### Future Directions * Honestly assess your interest in extending this research beyond the semester. * If interested, outline potential ways to further advance the research. * Suggest entry points for newcomers interested in this topic. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
