:arrows_counterclockwise: Follow-up from July 1
---

All the following points are from numerous previous meetings documented here in the hackmd. None of this is new. It all reflects where the PIP came from.

 - [ ] [Review the Feb 28 meeting notes](https://hackmd.io/vaxcrC_STXm3uE5Op49okQ#-Responsibilities) for core QRG postdoc responsibilities
 - [ ] Regular updates on progress. This takes many forms:
     - GitHub issues: creating new ones, closing old ones, updating open ones
         - **Created new personal repos within the past week**
         - **Created new QRG repos within the past 24 hours**
         - **A handful of new issues**
         - **No closed or updated issues**
     - Pushing code to GitHub (ideally linking it to open issues)
         - **No code pushes since last meeting**
     - Updating the weekly hackmd notes with your progress 
         - **No hackmd updates in weeks**
     - Engagement in Slack
         - **Asking for collaborators for new cilia project**
     - Weekly 1:1s
 
 1. Set clear and unambiguous goals
     - **Goals seem clear from 1:1s, but change unexpectedly or are not met**
 2. Lay out **in detail** how those goals will be achieved and what key steps need to be hit along the way
     - **No details have been spelled out, aside from PIP, which only rehashed much of what was already in hackmd.**
 3. Provide **regular updates** on your progress (GitHub, hackmd, Slack, zoom)
     - **Updates have so far only come in the form of 1:1s and Slack, which tend to involve new and unannounced directions or no notable progress.**


**What blockers to these goals exist?**

**Outline all possible details toward achieving these goals.**

**Provide a timeline toward achieving these goals.**

:red_circle: Milestones

## Notes 
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->

Cilia data
 - did the correction last night (what does that mean??)

GitHub personal account
 - moved things over to QRG GitHub

Cilia videos
 - are there special features to look out for?
 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/16EfZKMi0jdJq_YiQNFyGT8tV5hHmt_Mz5SF9jWBDHeU/edit#

Found napari difficult to use
 - using Label Studio and Fiji Image Annotator

Dropped VS Code in favor of Spyder and JupyterLab
 - easier to view images and videos

:dart: Goals for next week
---
 - [ ] Continue working on the submitted ICCV 2022 paper for possible submission to the journal, Neurocomputing https://www.journals.elsevier.com/neurocomputing
 - [ ] Provide actionable framework to the Contrastive Coding Cilia paper 
 - [ ] Ground truth labels for cilia + ornet datasets

## Notes 
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->
 - Current ICCV paper lacks justification of the methods
 - Also lacks any comparison with existing methods
 - Submit to Neurocomputing
     - Somewhat niche, but if work is tailored correctly, it could fit.
 > Neurocomputing welcomes theoretical contributions aimed at winning further understanding of neural networks and learning systems, including, but not restricted to, architectures, learning methods, analysis of network dynamics, theories of learning, self-organization, biological neural network modelling, sensorimotor transformations and interdisciplinary topics with artificial intelligence, artificial life, cognitive science, computational learning theory, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, information theory, machine learning, neurobiology and pattern recognition.
    
 - analysis of network dynamics
 - machine learning and pattern recognition
 - AAAI is a good conference

 - Want to do some work without training data (?)
     - Unsupervised learning?

                 - The study was inspired by the recent work of Lefebvre et al., and the motivation 
                 - originates from the need to deepen the ongoing inquiry into various automated image analysis 
                 - tools for object detection and segmentationin.
     - Sections of the paper still need to be written 
         - Experiments and results
                 - This would be completed on Sunday, June 26
         - Explanation of new methods (and background of older ones)

:bust_in_silhouette: Statement
---

We're a full year into the 2-year appointment. Products so far:
 - two in-progress review paper drafts
 - two abstracts (BII 2021, SciPy 2022)

Problems that existed in 2021 and which are ongoing:
 - Communication (e.g., being stuck but not telling anyone)
 - Basic troubleshooting (ssh, git access, zoom permissions, Python)
 - No committed code, no algorithm prototypes, no theoretical investigations
 - Minimal interaction with the cilia/ornet datasets
 - Minimal interaction with students in the lab

**At the halfway point, the time for reviewing is long over. Specific milestones need to be hit at very specific times for this postdoctoral appointment to be considered successful.**

:red_circle: Milestones
---

### High Priority
 - SciPy poster + paper
     - **Read, understand, and translate** existing Matlab code
     - **Test** Python re-implementation
     - **Compare** Python re-implementation to Matlab code
     - **Generate** figures replicating paper results
     - **Create poster** and **write paper**
         - Note **poster** and **paper** deadlines

 - Unspecified segmentation paper
     - Based on MICCAI contrastive coding? Based on CellGraph density/gravimetric clustering? **Need to decide on this direction soon**
     - **Identify** potential publication venues / journals
     - **Explore** cilia / ornet datasets to help develop segmentation hypothesis

 - GitOps
     - **Writing** and **committing** code
     - **Interacting** with existing code
     - `git` commands (or VSCode integrations)
     - Command-line familiarity (`git`, `ssh`, `python`, etc)
     - **Regularly update** the "to-do" items in HackMD and issues on GitHub
 - Sense of urgency
     - Not stress, but an understanding of **what needs to get done** and **how much time you have left to do it**
     - **Radical reprioritization**
    

### Low Priority
 - Review papers
     - (These should have been completed within the first six to nine months)
     - They are still a good exercise but not what will get you a tenure-track position; **novel**, **first-author** publications will, so that should be the priority.

:dart: Goals for next week
---

 - [ ] Set up short-term milestones
     - These should be **concrete** and **measurable** (meaning it's easy to assess success or failure)
     - These should have **hard deadlines** (specific dates; e.g., first draft of SciPy paper is due **May 28**)
 - [ ] Lay out a longer-term roadmap covering goals for the remainder of the postdoc appointment
     - What are the major objectives you want to achieve?
     - Roughly what timeframe should you expect to achieve them?

## Notes 
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->

CVPR / ICML 2023 submissions instead of FASEB?

:mag: Core GitOps Skills Assessment
---

Remember GitOps from our first meeting:
 - [GitOps](https://about.gitlab.com/topics/gitops/)
 - Team-based software development process
 - Required knowledge:
     - command line
     - [git](https://git-scm.com/) versioning system
     - GitHub (including [Issues](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/about-issues), [Projects](https://docs.github.com/en/issues/organizing-your-work-with-project-boards/managing-project-boards/about-project-boards), [Pull Requests](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/about-pull-requests), [Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions), and [Codespaces](https://github.com/features/codespaces))
     - Some kind of development environment / IDE (recommended: [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/))

Since then:
 - no git commits
 - a [single empty repository](https://github.com/ojemebo/Reimplementation-practice)
 - no issues on any quinngroup repos
 - no PRs submitted, reviewed, or otherwise discussed

Other concerns:
 - knowledge of `git` and how it works seems weak
 - knowledge of GitHub and how it works also seems weak
 - no concrete evidence yet of any coding over the past year

**This is a *problem*.**
 - git and GitHub are how we coordinate on projects
 - there's more to research than git and GitHub but if you're not participating *at all* that is a problem
 - already three weeks since SciPy submission; there should be some progress on Python port of MitoMeter, but where is it? what about contrastive coding port?

**Need to dedicate time to GitOps and GitLab Flow.**

### Papers to reading group

Literature review for survey paper (see Notes below)

### Roadmap for SciPy

Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yAbIJu7yqAGxlL_dGqNxOqIOylu9rYY6Jj7DNYBPZbQ/edit?usp=sharing

Set up workshop/meeting with other SciPy authors (see Notes below)

### VS Code Tutorials

Went thorugh a lot of tutorials (where?)
 - VS Code setup
 - assessing data

### Projects

Not much time for other projects (yet)

**Cilia**
 - Wavelet transforms for cilia segmentation
     - See [Weiwen's master's thesis](https://cobweb.cs.uga.edu/~squinn/articles/WeiwenXu_MS_thesis_FINAL.pdf) for general Fourier performance in segmentation
 - [Contrastive coding based segmentation (MICCAI 2021)](https://www.dropbox.com/s/3f2etdngncmr3re/contrastive_paper_MICCAI2021.pdf?dl=0)

### Got asked to review for SciPy! :tada: 
One of the papers is in QRG, unfortunately, so will have to say no

Other papers are fine!

:dart: Goals for next week
---

1. Get on PAWS-Secure wifi network
2. Set up SciPy roadmap workshop/meeting with all other authors
    i. Set up follow-up meetings for each week's goals?
    ii. e.g. writing session to work on 1-page intros
3. Reach out to Chenxiao to set up survey paper meeting
4. Investigate wavelet and contrastive-coding based segmentation approaches for cilia
5. Start looking at [MitoMeter](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-021-01234-z) port to Python (for SciPy)

## Notes 
<!-- Other important details discussed during the meeting can be entered here. -->

Great job sending out review paper and soliciting help
 - Chenxiao volunteered! Start coordinating with her on it
 - Needs to be a bit more _intentional_ (i.e., can't just paste the doc, ask for help, and expect volunteers)
 - Put some time into reaching out to people and explaining why/how they can get involved
 - Next step: **follow-up**
     - Ping specific people
     - Set up agendas for the meetings/workshops
