This is a template for writing your PhD thesis. It provides a common structure, but you may want to fine-tune it according to the type of research you have performed. In particular, consider changing the chapter titles to something more specific, e.g. rather than “Background” write “Existing work in testing ML pipelines”.
An alternative thesis style involves the so-called paper-stapling thesis, which includes a number of published papers sandwiched between an introduction chapter and a conclusions chapter.
Note that there is significant overlap between the introduction and the conclusions. This is by design. Write the introduction in a forward looking style, as if you are now beginning your PhD journey. Write the conclusions in a retrospective style, focusing on lessons learned.
In your writing please follow the advice for writing LaTeX documents.
Run make in the top-level directory.
The result will appear in the build directory.
Once the thesis text becomes substantial, consider using the
\includeonly command for the chapter you're working on.
This repository is based on a PhD thesis by Tushar Sharma, converted into a template by Thodoris Sotiropoulos, as restructured and fleshed with instructions by Diomidis Spinellis.
