Inspired Idea turns into Sound Results: The Influence of Creativity and Teamwork on the Research

Listen to this interview of Yun Peng, Research Associate, Chinese University of Hong Kong, China; and also, Cuiyun Gao, Associate Professor, Harbin Institute of Technology, China. We talk about their coauthored paper Static Inference Meets Deep Learning: A Hybrid Type Inference Approach for Python (ICSE 2022). Yun Peng : "And I remember the reviewers at ICSE commenting how they never imagined solving the type-inference problem in just this way. So, for me, the takeaway here, is: When we are conducting research or writing a paper or solving a technical problem, we do well to look into life and draw inspiration from there to do the work — because I know we can be greatly inspired by the things just around us in our everyday lives."
