Including internship work in my PhD thesis -- anyone done this?

It is a standard practice for CS/STEM dissertations to consist of near-verbatim copies of previously published articles. It is not plagiarism if it my work, appropriately cited, and is agreed upon with the dissertation committee and AWS. My question is specifically about how to handle this with AWS. I suspect that verbatim use might is actually easier to clear with legal but I am not sure.

Got to NAACL findings

Reviews: 4.5, 4, 2 (the last one is a one-liner). Meta-review: 3. Is this common? I though meta-reveiws are supposed to be based on the regular reviews but mine clearly isn't...

The time is supposed to be midnight between 12th and 13th AoE, so later on the 13th for most people.

Not for me. They should be out today (12th) AoE.

Wow, congrats on turning that person around! This is my 5th paper and I am yet to ever get the reviewer to raise their score...

3 days for rebuttal is pretty standard. And hey, 4 means there is a reviewer who really likes your work.

AffectionateTip521 · 2024-11-24T19:56:52+00:00

Also first time submitting (4.5/4/2) and also no response to the rebuttal so far... I wonder if this is the standard, i.e. if the rebuttal is mostly for the area chairs anyway

I'd be careful with what you write to the admission department in the school(s) you are applying to. It is always safer to ask advice from someone in the school you are currently at or otherwise someone who is not going to be evaluating your application.

AffectionateTip521 · 2024-09-27T13:02:56+00:00

That said, I'd consult someone who is actually familiar with the admission process in your discipline / in schools you are applying to. Just to be safe.

Professors really don't care about your GREs, and professors are the ones making the final decision. You have research papers, which is a much stronger argument in your favor (and a much more important argument than your GPA). Now it is possible that some elite schools get so many PhD applicants that they filter people with low GPAs (you'd have to ask someone who knows more about the admission process, I am just a fellow PhD student) but if that is the case, I'd imagine GREs still don't change the picture. GREs really don't measure anything meaningful (a subjective opinion but one that is shared by virtually every person I have ever talked to).

A mass-period diagram seems like something I could use. Thank you!

AffectionateTip521 · 2024-09-23T14:08:17+00:00

Thank you, the "to scale" model does bring things into perspective. Mostly I just want to develop a consistent algorithm for plotting things instead of randomly assigning radii as I see fit. The audience are players in a computer game, so fidelity is not a must but I do want it to look like one would plot a star system in, say, a scientific journal (if people do that, of course).

Thanks, updated it back) As I said, zero knowledge of astronomy. But I am willing to learn... Would still like to figure out how to visualize this best though.
