Not Recommended: Abstract-Only Method Description in Introduction

Not recommended: If the method is simple, do not avoid concrete method details in Introduction and only discuss abstract insight to make it look novel.

Expert note (faithful translation):

  1. The craft of this writing template is how to make a simple pipeline look novel.
  2. Note: this is not about making the insight look novel, but about making the pipeline steps look novel.
  3. In most cases this is not recommended.
  4. The better target is to clearly explain how the core contribution is implemented in Introduction.
% To tackle this problem, we propose a novel 3D GAN training method to generate photo-realistic images irrespective of the viewing angle.

% Introduce key idea
% Our key idea is as follows. To ease the challenging problem of learning photorealistic and multi-view consistent image synthesis, we cast the problem into two subproblems, each of which can be solved more easily.

% Explain why the key idea works, but without concretely discussing the full pipeline (or only discuss abstract benefit)
%% Example: Specifically, we formulate the problem as a combination of two simple discrimination problems, one of which learns to discriminate whether a synthesized image looks real or not, and the other learns to discriminate whether a synthesized image agrees with the camera pose. Unlike the formulations of the previous methods, which try to learn the real image distribution for each pose, or to learn pose estimation, our subproblems are much easier as each of them is analogous to a basic binary classification problem.

% Introduce pipeline modules with new terms but without clearly explaining the full pipeline (or skip concrete pipeline details)
%% Example: Based on this key idea, we propose a dual-branched discriminator, which has two branches for learning photorealism and pose consistency, respectively. As these branches are supervised explicitly for their respective purposes, high-quality images with pose consistency can be produced at each viewing angle, and consequently, the generator creates high-quality images and shapes. (This paragraph does not clearly explain how the pipeline works.)

% Introduce another contribution
%% Example: In addition, we propose a pose-matching loss to give supervision to the discriminator for the pose consistency, by considering a positive pose (i.e., rendering pose or ground truth pose) and a negative pose (i.e., irrelevant pose) for a given image. (This paragraph does not clearly explain how the pipeline works.)

% Explain expected benefit over prior methods
%% Example: For example, the frontal viewpoint is one of the irrelevant poses for a side-view image. As reported in the experiments, this loss helps improve image and shape quality. This can be interpreted as a simplification of a classification problem from a large number of classes into binary, which is composed of positive and negative pairs.
