值得收藏：论文创新性怎么写？

论文创新点分为哪几类？如何来写contribution？来自英国杜伦大学的Dr Hubert P. H. Shum^[1]博士给出解答，值得收藏！

Theoretical Novelty

This kind of novelty is more fundamental. They usually are more abstract ideas that can be applied in a wide range of applications. For example,

i.      We propose a mathematical model of XXX that allows the effective modelling of YYY.

ii.      We propose to utilise a new type of feature in the domain of XXX, which has not been explored before.

Design-level Novelty

This kind of novelty is usually application specific – where you design a network/framework/solution that is novel.

i.      We propose a new two-stream network that considers prediction and denoising at the same time, boosting the performance of each task.

ii.      We propose an adaptative STGCN for action recognition that can XXX.

Engineering Novelty

This kind of novelty is usually more implementational or engineering-based, where you make something that boosts the system's accuracy/performance.

i.      We propose a transformer-based module that learns the attention between XXX and YYY.

ii.      We propose a new fusion operation that effectively combines different types of features.
