Mentorship

The student need to have a seminar by using textbook or papers of interest. Discussion in the seminar is strict, but it is really necessary to understand and progress research. The products from the seminar should publish as research papers that the student writes as the first author to international conferences or journals. For students who want to be a PhD course, we supervise him(her) to be a researcher who can define and solve problems by him(her)self. In past five years, we use the following textbooks in the seminar:

  • Multivariate Analysis, K.V. Mardia, J.T. Kent and J.M. Bibby, Academic Press, 1980.
  • Combinatorial Optimization, A. Schrijver, Springer, 2003.
  • Algorithmics for Hard Problems, J. Hromkovic, Springer, 2003.
  • Learning Bayesian Networks, R.E. Neapolitan, Prentice Hall, 2003.
  • Graph Drawing -Algorithms for the Visualization of Graphs-
  • Selected Open Proglems in Graph Drawing, GraphDrawing, 2003.
  • Statistical Inference from Time-Cource Experimental Data
  • Bayesian Methods for Nonlinear Classification and Regression, D.G.T. Denison et al., Wiley, 2002.
