Report Introduction:Picking good research problems to work on is a fundamental skill to learn during Ph.D. study. In this talk, I will highlight five principles for picking research problems, ranging from solving old problems using new techniques to opening a new problem to work on to establish the skeleton of a field to interdisciplinary research to dataset-driven research. I will emphasize both examples from the general AI field and my personal experience. The talk targets a general audience, and no technical background is required.
