Base on the paper: How to read a paper
----
S. Keshav

Researchers must read papers for several reasons: to re-view them
for a conference or a class, to keep current in their field, or for a literature
survey of a new field. A typical researcher will likely spend hundreds of
hours every year reading papers.
1. The First Pass
Instead of starting at the beginning and plowing your way to the end.
Each pass accomplishes specic goals and builds upon the previous pass:
1)The first pass gives you a general idea about the paper.
2)The second pass lets you grasp the paper's content, but not its details.
3)The third pass helps you understand the paper in depth.
So,when get a paper,firstly,this first pass should take about five to ten
minutes and consists of the following steps:
1. Carefully read the title, abstract, and introduction.
2. Read the section and sub-section headings, but ignore
everything else
3. Glance at the mathematical content (if any) to determine the underlying
theoretical foundations.
4. Read the conclusions
5. Glance over the references, mentally ticking of the ones you've already
read.
At the end of the first pass, you should be able to answer
the five Cs:
1. Category: What type of paper is this? A measurement paper? An
analysis of an existing system? A description of a research prototype?（学
术论文？会议论文？综述论文？介绍某种新算法论文？…）
2. Context: Which other papers is it related to? Which theoretical bases
were used to analyze the problem?（论文要解决的问题是什么；基本的
数学理论或者模型是什么）
3. Correctness: Do the assumptions appear to be valid?
4. Contributions: What are the paper's main contributions?
5. Clarity: Is the paper well written?(判断的标准是研究的领域时候前
沿，是否有人做过类似工作 ；文中的方法是否很详细；文中的思路
是否很清晰等..)

2. The Scond Pass
In the second pass, read the paper with greater care, but ignore details
such as proofs. It helps to jot down the key points, or to make comments
in the margins, as you read. “ note down terms you didn't understand, or
questions you may want to ask the author.
Else,Look carefully at the figures, diagrams and other illustrations in
the paper. Pay special attention to graphs. (Are the axes properly labeled?
