Q&A

新生在找指導老師時大多會問類似問題，以下整理常見問題以及個人回答，供有興趣加入實驗室的同學參考。

• 面談機制？
  在收到你的來信後，我會安排面談。通常會進行一至兩次，並在雙方達成共識後才會確認指導意願。若面談後確認合作意向，請寄送指導確認信給我。於收到確認信前，不會預設你已決定加入本實驗室。寄出確認信前，請務必確認會就讀本系所並加入本實驗室，避免影響其他學生加入的安排。

• 會兩年畢業嗎？
  是否能在兩年內完成碩士論文，我無法保證，但樂觀其成。畢業時間通常取決於你自身的學習態度與積極程度，多數學生都可以順利通過我對論文品質的把關。少數延畢學生常見的原因：基礎能力較弱（邏輯或程式能力不足，需要額外時間補強）；時間管理不佳（meeting 經常性缺席或準備不足，導致研究進度落後）。請避免此情況。

• 畢業（論文）標準？
  基本上你必須清楚你的研究主題，文獻中相關方法與技術的發展以及它們的優缺點。然後你需要提出自己的想法或模型，並能撰寫程式進行模擬實驗，實驗結果須具備邏輯性，並與既有方法比較，驗證所提出方法的有效性。若你沒有經驗，不用太擔心。研究的想法與架構我會與你一起討論，你需要投入時間在實驗、測試上。研究過程中並非所有想法都會成功，試著從數據、結果找原因，調整方向，培養自己的洞察力與耐心。若你表現優異，也會獲得推薦。碩一上會給定研究主題，可從 meeting 報告的內容，選擇合適的作為你的研究主題。論文須使用Latex撰寫。

• 畢業條件？
  一切就按照系所上的畢業標準。沒有要求碩士生有期刊論文發表才能畢業，但鼓勵參加一些會議的海報論文或是多校聯合的科技論文競賽。

• meeting 頻率、方式？
  每週會有一次 group meeting，由一至兩位同學報告。所有人至少要讀過 introduction；報告同學應盡可能了解方法架構、模型推導等；其他同學聽完須嘗試提問、給予回饋。每位同學都可以另約個別 meeting。目前實驗室沒有學長姐帶學弟妹的制度。

• 要求在實驗室？
  原則上沒有強制規範同學待在實驗室的時間，不要找不到人就好。但若自律程度明顯不足，或許可能會被要求到實驗室的時間。實驗室沒有其他雜事，你的主要任務是專心完成碩士論文。

• 擔任計畫助理？
  助理費主要來自國科會計畫經費，具體金額會依學生人數、當時經費及個人表現調整。

• 畢業學長姐的出路？
  多數從事影像相關工程師工作。
