r/MachineLearning - Tips for first research project [R][P]

I'm relatively new to machine learning (been working with it professionally for about a year) and started working on personal projects around January just for fun. One project that I started in February recently started showing some huge promise, and it could cut training time for Keras models by roughly 20% in most cases, based on my experiments. I'm looking to write a paper on the topic the project implements, but I'm stumped. This is the first research project I've worked on and I don't have any connections with professors or anything at the college I'll be attending. Does anyone have any tips for me to help get this project and paper farther off the ground?
