Tips on writing papers

How to write a clear paper?

• Can begin with a compelling teaser figure that effectively summarizes the core idea.
• Each figure should be independently informative, accompanied by a clear, concise caption and explicit (bolded) takeaways, accompany with the necessary configuration. And can leave other ablations to Appendix.
• Should not rely on AI writing, should think clearly about what is the purpose for each paragraph. Should think clearly about the logical flows of the arguments, and do not use terminologies before introducing them properly.
• For theory papers, emphasize the key technical innovations that enable new results, as well as the novel implications derived from your findings.

Findings from AI writings

When giving a too general prompt, AI writings seem to give a very long and verbose paragraph with all the details for the numerics. Before asking it to write anything, specify what do I want the Figure to look like, what caption is expected, what information would I expect to give in that figure. Same for writing a paragraph. Use /humanizer or ask it to present in simplified technical English to avoid claudish.
