A short paper review

This morning, I read a tutorial article, Reading a Computer Science Research
Paper, which focuses on helping graduate students improve their reading skills
when reading technique papers that are typically 8-12 pages long. The article
emphasises(in North America we say emphasizes) that writing a paper review is one of key components of critical
reading. Inspired by this suggestion, I decided to spend one(an) hour writing down 
a short essay (or whatever came to mind) for each paper I read and post
it in on italki for critiques and suggestions :-).

The following is the first post, a paper review for Reading a Computer Science
Research Paper written by Philip W. L. Fong from the University of Calgary.

(Background in computer science papers) Research papers in most research domains
(e.g. Mathematic, Psychology, and Computer Science) can fall into two
categories, journal papers and conference papers, which are different in
organizers(??)(organization), the process of paper review, time to publish, and hence quality.
Generally speaking, conference papers are more flexibly(flexible) in (with respect to)organization,
peer-review of papers, and most importantly, they can be published in months. I
suspect those are the top reasons most researchers in computer science are
willing to publish their results as conference papers. Hence, most research
papers in computer science are regularly 8-12 pages long, relatively lack
peer-review, and possibly contain bugs.

(Summary) This paper helps us look down(further) into the process of reading a computer
science paper that is around 10 pages long and possibly contain(ing) bugs (most bugs
though, are ambitious claims that cannot be substantiated and experiments that
are hardly(difficult) to repeat by other researchers.) The author suggests to break the
reading process into three sub-tasks -- comprehension, evaluation and synthesis.
Every sub-tasks, with different goals, target the key components of a paper, the
problem the paper tries to address, the claims made by the authors, the way the
claims are substantiated, and the conclusions and impacts of the research
result. To help students facilitate with this process, the author lists dozens
of questions that a student can ask while reading a paper. Such as What is the
motivation of the research work.
