Research is all about breakthroughs and ideas. Ever asked yourself what is happening between the ideas and breakthroughs? Half a year into research, I realised that my ideas are sporadic and surprising ambitious. Honestly, moments of brilliance do not come very often. Hardly, actually. Most of the time I am just persevering and wondering what is wrong with my hypothesis. Facing repeated failures and living off false hopes, is this what the life of a researcher is about? Or is it the hope that someday, something great might just happen? Not my cup of tea.
Meanwhile, I need more ideas on how to achieve a good balance between explorative and exploitative search.
